FOIl EACH GALLON- Take one quart of milk, add one and 
one-half to two ounces, or three-quarter teacupful of KINGERY’S 
GELATINE Soak for one or two hours, then set the vessel in hot 
water, and stir until the Gelatine is all dissolved. Then dissolve one 
and one-fourth pounds of sugar in the remaining three quarts of cold 
milk. Strain this into the freezer, also the one quart containing the 
Gelatine, add two teaspoonfuls of flavoring, or flavor to suit the taste. 
Then stir the mixture briskly for a minute; turn the freezer constantly 
until the cream is well frozen. Part pure cream, instead of all milk, 
will improve the ice cream. A coarse-woven towel is the best strainer. 
Vanilla (if pure) is the favorite flavor for ice cream. If one-half pure 
cream is used, use one-quarter less Gelatine; if all pure cream is used, 
use one-half less Gelatine. 

Many makes of Gelatine contain Acid and should not he used in 
milk or cream. Use Kingery’s and results will be satisfactory. 11 gives 
the Ice Cream body and makes it smooth and more delicious. If your 
Grocer should not have it, send 10 cents to the Kingery Mfg. Co., 131 East

(Sreets tbe (Sranb Hnnv 


of tbe IRcpublic. 


The Queen City of the West opens home and heart for the 
heroes who aided to preserve the nation. The surviving veterans 
of the Union Army, gathered from every part of the greater Union, 
under the Flag as of old, save that more stars bespangle the blue 
of its field, are mustered here, a gladly received army of occupation. 
And yet, to rightly word the City’s welcome involves the senti¬ 
ment of a conflict of emotions, most difficult to crystallize into fit expression. Solemn 
memories of the awful cost will perforce interweave with elation for victory completed 
and liberty perpetuated. But, mor : than the years of an average life have gone since the 
Civil War closed. The man or tne woman who can remember the news of the firing of 
the First Shot is beyond middle age. ‘"The glory dies not and the grief is past.” Time 
has but added to the lustre of the one; it has worn away the other, softening the sharp 
anguish of affliction into reverent recollection. 

The people of Cincinnati will, therefore, look back to those days of thirty-seven years 
ago, when their first regiments—undrilled, but with strong hearts, as yet ununiformed, but 
with ardor as inspired as the Crusaders’—marched away to the front, and to 
the later days, vvnen their thin ranks came home, with pride that the City 
gave so much of its good and its true to the Union’s heaven-defended 
cause. They will turn to the monuments and mounds where sleep the 
brave, with exultation that, in the hour of need, patriotism and the love 
of liberty burned so brightly here, prompting the sacrifice of self for the 
welfare of mankind. In this spirit the Queen City of the West gives the 
old soldiers greeting.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC . 


Historic Facts Relating to the Origin of the Order.—Lincoln’s Address 
at Gettysburg.—Logan’s Order Creating Memorial Day.—An 
Humble Private Soldier of Cincinnati First Suggested Decorat¬ 
ing Soldiers’ Graves. 



HE Grand Army of the 
Republic was born 
of the sufferings 
and privations of 
army life, which 
welded strongly the 
tie of fellowship be¬ 
tween all partici¬ 
pants, no matter 
what their rank or 
station. The idea 
was conceived on 
the battlefield and expanded as continued service 
increased a desire for permanent friendships, the 
perpetuation of memories of the great struggle and 
the advancement of mutual interests. 

The formation of a national association of vet¬ 
erans who had served in the armed forces of the 
Union in the war for the suppression of the rebel¬ 
lion is due to the services of Dr. Benjamin F. 
Stephenson, of Springfield, Ills. Upon his muster 
out as Surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, 
Dr. Stephenson settled in Springfield for the prac¬ 
tice of his profession, and there, after months spent 
in consultation with his army friends, he outlined 
the plans for this organization, and on April 6, 1866, 
mustered in at Decatur, Ills., the first Post of the 
Grand Army of the Republic. While there were 
certain modifications or changes of details in the 
general plans then presented, the organization of 
today is substantially as decided upon by Dr. Ste¬ 
phenson and his immediate associates. These cov¬ 
ered single Posts, with a district organization by 
counties (afterwards abolished), a Department for 
each State and a National Encampment. 

Pending the formation of a Department for the 
State of Illinois, which was effected July 12, 1866, 
and of the National Encampment, formed at Indi¬ 
anapolis, November 20, 1866, Dr. Stephenson was 
the official head of the order, his staff officers were 
announced in the regular form of general orders 
dated April 1, 1866, and consisted of Major Robert 
M Woods, Adjutant General; General Jules C. 
Webber, A. D. C. and Chief of Staff; Colonel John 
M. Snyder, Quartermaster General; Captain John 
A. Uightfoot, Assistant Adjutant General, and 
Lieutenant John S Phelps, A. D. C. The work of 
extension of the order was at once taken up. The 
staff officers were sent into different sections of Illi¬ 
nois and adjacent States. During the months of 
April and May a number of Posts were organized 
in Illinois, and, in June, Posts were formed in Wis¬ 
consin and Indiana, followed in July and August 
by the organization of Posts in Iowa and Missouri. 
Later in the year, Posts were formed in Pennsyl¬ 


vania, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, 
New Jersey, Kansas and the District of Columbia. 

THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION. 

A national convention was held in Indianapolis 
November 20, 1866. Dr Stephenson was elected 
Adjutant General, and in his first report he gave 
the following brief account of the organization of 
the Grand Army: 

“Early in the spring of 1866 a few patriots, 
deeply feeling the importance of organizing a 
grand association of the gallant Union soldiers and 
sailors of the late terrible rebellion, for the purpose 
of fostering fraternal relations and keeping alive 
the zeal of patriotism and devotion to our country, 
and above all for the purpose of mutual support and 
assistance in clothing the naked, feeding the hungry 
and furnishing employment to the destitute, sick 
and wounded comrades, and caring for the widows 
and orphans of our gallant dead, formed their plans 
and publicly calling on all interested, on the 12th 
day of July, 1866, met in convention in the repre¬ 
sentatives’ hall in the State capital at Springfield, 
Ills., and then and there formed the nucleus of the 
grand organization here represented in convention, 
and which from that humble origin now extends 
an influence of great power throughout nearly 
every State and Territory of our country.” 

Prior to the meeting of the Grand Army at In¬ 
dianapolis on November 20th, the organization re¬ 
ceived considerable strength as the result of a meet¬ 
ing of veterans in the Republican soldiers’ and 
sailors’ convention which was held in Pittburg, 
September 25, 1866. 

The nomination of General Grant for President 
resulted from the last named convention. The 
National Encampment of the Grand Army held in 
Philadelphia in 1868 declared that while it was the 
purpose of the Grand Army “to secure the rights 
of the defenders of their country by all moral, 
social and political means in our control, yet this 
association does not design to make nominations 4 
for office, or to use its influence as a secret 1 
organization for partisan purposes.” At the J 
following encampment held in this city in May, ■ 
1869, to place this matter beyond dispute so far 
as the power of the Grand Army extended, the 
following prohibition was made, and remains 
part of the rules and regulations of the order: 
“No officer or comrade of the Grand Army 
of the Republic shall in any manner use this 
organization for partisan purposes, and no discus¬ 
sion of partisan questions shall be permitted at any 
of its meetings, nor shall any nominations for polit¬ 
ical office be made.”

SEVERAL CHARTERS REVOKED. 

In a few instances where Posts through mistaken 
zeal have violated this law of the Grand Army their 
charters have been promptly revoked. It is a fact, 
however, that the adoption of this rigid rule caused 
many thousands of members to withdraw. They 
believed that the whole power of such an organiza¬ 
tion should be wielded for political interests of its 
members, and throngh the power of organized ef¬ 
fort compel recognition of those interests by the 
dominant party of the North. Other causes also 
operated against the Grand Army at this time 
and in several of the Central States the order 
was compactly held together, but with a largely 
reduced membership. Notwithstanding the ear¬ 
nest and unselfish efforts of numbers of influential 
comrades, the growth of the order from 1870 to 
1876 seemed at a stand-still, but at no time did 
* these same comrades lose confidence in the 
belief that the order was yet destined to attain 
great power and influence. In 1876 there was a 
manifest change for the better. Comrades in the 
Central Western States took up the work of reorgan¬ 
ization and thereafter the growth of the order was 
rapid and continuous. 

On December 31, 1877, but 27,079 members were 
reported in good standing in the order. During the 
next ten years over 350,000 new members were added 
and there are today more than 400,000 men on the 
rolls, and this thirty years after the close of the 
military service of its members This number, 
large as it is for an organization of this character, 
does not represent quite one-half of the veterans yet 
surviving. There are many thousands so situated 
that they cannot have the pleasure of attending 
Post meeting and so they have failed to join the 
order, other thousands have been members of the 
order and have dropped out for various causes, and 
there is a growing disinclination on the part of a 
large number against making any special efforts at 
recruiting their ranks, through a feeling that the 
Grand Arnry has attained its influential position 
without the encouragement and assistance of those 
who, in these years, have shared in the work which 
has been of the greatest benefit to all surviving 
comrades and to the dependent families of the dead. 

The order has undoubtedly reached high-water 
mark in point of membership, and unless legislation 
is had looking to the perpetuation of the name of 
the Grand Army of the Republic by the admission 
of the Sons of Veterans into full, or for a time, 
qualified membership, it is but a question of a few 
years’ time when the order will cease to exist. The 
death roll of members must now naturally increase 
with an increasing ratio each year This is the one 
cause which can now operate to deplete the ranks 
of the Grand Army, and because this is inevitable it 
the more strongly emphasizes the necessity for such 
a fraternity of the men who fought to save the 
Union. 

ESTABLISHHENT OF MEMORIAL DAY. 

It is but fitting in this connection to refer to the 
creation of Memorial Day, which was established at 
the suggestion of the late General John A. Logan. 
It was during his administration as Commander-in- 
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic that the 
day for paying respect to the veterans who have 
passed away was established. The General Orders 
establishing Memorial Day were as follows: 


Headquarters Grand Army op the Republic, 

ADJUTANT GENERAL’S OFFICE, 

44fi Fourteenth St. 

General Orders No. II. 

Washington, D. C., May 5, 1868. 

I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for 
the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decor¬ 
ating the graves of comrades who died in defense of 
their country during the late rebellion, and whose 
bodies now lie in almost every city, village, hamlet, 
and churchyard in the land. In this observance no 
form of ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and com¬ 
rades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting 
services and testimonials of respect as circumstances 
will permit. We are organized, comrades, as our 
regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other 
things, “of preserving and strengthening those 
kind and fraternal feelings which have bound to¬ 
gether the soldiers, sailors and marines who united 
together to suppress the late rebellion.” What can 
aid more to assure this result than by cherishing 
tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made 
their breasts a barricade between our country and 
its foes ? Their soldier lives were the reveille of 
freedom to a race in chains, and their deaths the 
tattoo of a rebellious tyranny in arms. We should 
guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that 
the consecrated taste of the nation can add to their 
adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to 
the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton 
foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let 
pleasant paths invite the coming and going of rev¬ 
erend visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandal¬ 
ism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify 
to the present or to the coming generations that we 
have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free or un¬ 
divided Republic. 

If other eyes grow dull, and other hands slack, and other hearts grow 
cold In the solemn tru«t, 

Ours keep It well as long as the light and warmth of life remain to us. 

Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather 
around their sacred remains, and garland the pas¬ 
sionless mounds above them with the choicest flow¬ 
ers of springtime; let us above them the dear old 
flag they saved from dishonor; let us in this solemn 
presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those 
whom they have left among us, a sacred charge 
upon a Nation’s gratitude—the soldier and the 
sailor’s widow and orphan. 

II. It is the purpose of the Commander-in-Chief d 
to inaugurate this observance, with the hope that J 
it will be kept up from year to year while a sur- I 
vivor of the war remains to honor the memory of 1 
his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the f 
public press to call attention to this order and 
lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of- 
comrades in all parts of the country in time for 
simultaneous compliance therewith. 

III. Department commanders will use every ef¬ 
fort to make this order effective. 

By order of John A. Logan, 

Official—N. P. Chipman, Commander-in-Chief.

is also apropos in this connection. It was as fol¬

tion that all men are created equal. Now we are

nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, 
can long- endure. We are met on a great battlefield 
of that war. We are here to dedicate a portion of it 
as the final resting place of those who gave up their 
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether 
fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in 
a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot con¬ 
secrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave 
men, living and dead, have consecrated it far 
flk beyond our power to add to or detract. The 
B world will little note nor long remember what 
C we say here, but it can never forget what they 

;B did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be 
■ dedicated here to this unselfish work that the} 7 
have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather 
B for us here to be dedicated to the great task 
remaining before us; that from these honored 
A dead we take increased devotion to the cause 
IS for which they here gave the last full mea- 
/Ul sure of devotion; that we here rightly resolve 
that these dead shall not have died in vain; 
that the Nation shall, under God, have a new 
birth of freedom, and that the government of 
the people, by the people, and for the people, shall 
not perish from the earth.” 

CHARTER OF THE G. A. R. 

The Charter of the Grand Army of the Republic 
was promulgated in Illinois on April 6, 1866. At 
this late day there are many, even members of the 
order, who will doubtless find interest in reading 
the primeval document. It is as follows: 

Grand Army of the Republic, ) 

Department of Illinois. j 

To all whom it may Concern , Greeting: 

Know ye, that the Commander of the Depart¬ 
ment of Illinois, reposing special trust and confi¬ 
dence in the patriotism and fidelity of M. F. Kanan,

J. H. Nale, J. T. Bishop, C. Reibsame, J. W. Routh,

Toland, does, by the authority in him vested, em¬

Macon, Department of Illinois, and they are hereby 
constituted as said Post, and authorized to per¬ 
form all acts necessary to conduct and carry on 
said organization in accordance with the Constitu¬ 
tion of the Grand Army of the Republic. 

Done at Springfield, Ills., this day of April, 1866.

Adjutant General. 

ANENT MEMORIAL DAY, 

There has for years been considerable discussion 
among members of the Grand Army of the Republic 
as to the origin of Memorial Day, which is now looked 
forward to with much anxiety by the old soldiers 
whose ranks are fast thinning out. The late Gen¬ 
eral John A. Logan, whose order creating Memorial 
Day is given in this connection, was accepted as the 
founder of the day. This may have been due to the 
fact that he promulgated the order for the proper 
observance of the day, while he was Commander in- 
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Accord¬ 
ing to Past Commander-in-Chief Beath the honor 
should belong to a private soldier in the Union Army 
whose home was right here in Cincinnati. He t.ells 


the following story of the origin of the institution 
of “Memorial Day.” He says: 

“Early in May, 1868, Adjutant General Chip- 
man received a letter from some comrade then liv¬ 
ing, as he remembers, in Cincinnati, in which the 
writer referred to the fact that he had served in the 
Union Army as a private soldier; that in his native 
country, Germany, it was the custom of the people 
to assemble in the springtime and scatter flowers 
upon the graves of the dead. He suggested that 
the Grand Army of the Republic inaugurate such an 
observance in memory of the Union dead. 

General Chipman thought the suggestion most 
opportune, and at once made a rough draft of a 
general order covering this subject, and laid it, with 
the letter referred to, before General Logan, the 
Commander-in-Chief. Gen. Logan warmly approved 
the order, himself adding several paragraphs. The 
date selected, May 30, was with the idea of using- 
one of the Spring months because of their poetical 
associations, and also to make it late in the last 
Spring months that it might be possible to find 
flowers in the New England and extreme Northern 
States. There were many who at first doubted the 
wisdom of instituting such an observance. It was 
claimed that it would unnecessarily keep alive mem¬ 
ories of the war, and foster animosities that should 
be buried in oblivion Other objections were made 
to the expense, and that the money for music and 
flowers could be more wisely spent on the living. 

The Grand Army has answered this latter by 
increasing its benefactions year by year, and no 
good citizen has at any time had reason to observe 
any force in the first objection. It is a matter of 
great regret that the name of the comrade who first 
called the attention of General Chipman to this 
subject cannot be recalled. 

During the war there had been many instances 
of the decoration of soldiers’ graves, and earlier 
than the date of this order a Decoration Day had 
been generally observed by ex-Confederates in the 
Southern States. General John B. Murray, then a- 
resident of Waterloo, N. Y., on Sunday, May 27, 
1866, marshalled a number of ex-soldiers in that 
village, who decorated the graves of their dead 
comrades amid appropriate ceremonies. General 
Murray claimed during his life that he had spoken 
of this to General Logan at one of tfie Army re¬ 
unions. It is also stated that Posts in this city— 
Cincinnati —upon the suggestion of T. C. Campbell, 
afterward Quartermaster-General, paraded in 1867 
for the purpose of decorating the graves of their 
dead comrades. General Chipman, however, dis¬ 
tinctly remembers the incident as already related, 
which directly resulted in the issue of the 
General Orders instituting a Memorial Day. . 

Undoubtedly, Commander Beath is correct 
in all this, but we can go further back for the 
true origin of the thought that is patent to 
the beautiful custom, and which, already Tm 
thoroughly grafted upon our institutions, 
will undoubtedly be observed as long as grass ■ 

grows or water runs. It was born, long be- ■ 

fore this, in the loving, pathetic heart of 
that great central figure of those tremendous 
days in the heart of Lincoln himself. Read J 
in his speech printed above what he said in ^ 
that immortal address at Gettysburg, and 
then let us hang the laurel where it belongs, re¬ 
membering that “Memorial Day” means far more 
than the mere strewing of flowers upon the graves 
of the dead.

THE WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS. 


D URING the War of the Rebellion, the women 
, of the North organized to render aid to 
those at the front and to the families of those left be¬ 
hind. The Christian and sanitary commissions did a 
work that will ever be remembered by the weary vet¬ 
eran. Women enlisted to go to the front and served 
as nurses in the hospitals, inspired to do the disagree¬ 
able work by their earnestness and enthusiasm for 
the Union. This was the foundation of the patri¬ 
otic work now being done by those organizations, 
which were created at the close of the war. 

The Woman’s Relief Corps is composed of 
women of the families of veterans, and other loyal 
women who have reached the age of sixteen 
years. 

It is an auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Re¬ 
public, assisting that order in the work of perpetu¬ 
ating the memory of the heroic dead, and of aiding 
all needy veterans and their families. 

It was organized in July, 1883, with the ap¬ 
proval of the Grand Army of the Republic, 
which authorized the use of the name, the first 
organization being formed in Massachusetts, in 
1879. It was formed of various soldiers’ aid so¬ 
cieties which had existed since the close of the war. 
This organization is composed of and officered ex¬ 
clusively by women. It has secured the erection 
and endowment of numerous homes for veterans, 
their wives and mothers, and dependent army nurses. 
It originated and forced into law, in many states, 
legislation compelling the use of loyal histories, 
and the placing of the American flag over every 
schoolhouse. In the earnestness of its work, and 
the extent of its charity, it has no equal among the 
women’s organizations of the world. It expended 
through its own organization, and assisted the G. 
A. R. posts in the relief of distress to the amount 
of $1,249,214.61, and assisted 40,513 persons. The 
membership of the organization is 145,000. 

Among the works of this national organization 
was the erection of a building as a National Home, 
at Madison, Ohio, as a shelter for the wives, 
mothers of soldiers and army nurses who needed a 
home in their declining years. In many states, 
homes have been established especially for the bene¬ 
fit of those residing within the state. 


THE LADIES OF THE G. A. R. 


'I — • 

I HE first women’s organization formed in con¬ 
nection with the Grand Army of the Republic 
had its birth in Portland, Me., in 1869. It ad¬ 
mitted only the “mothers, wives, sisters and daugh¬ 
ters of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors,” 
When the Seventeenth National Encampment,Grand 
Army of the Republic, met at Denver, in July, 1883, 
there were women’s “auxiliary” organizations of 
some kind in fifteen or more states, and an attempt 
was made to consolidate them. This attempt re¬ 
sulted in the National Women’s Relief Corps. None 
of these societies had admitted other than mothers,, 
wives, daughters and sisters of Union soldiers and 
sailors. In the attempt to popularize the order and 
increase its members and sources of income, the 
new organization proceeded to widen the door to 
membership, and all “loyal women of good moral 
character” were made eligible. Those who did not 
believe in extending the eligibility class in the 
Women’s Organization, withdrew, and formed what 
is now known as the “Ladies of the Grand Army 
of the Republic,” which does not admit others than 
members of veterans’ families, and admits veterans 
as associated members. 

The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic 
are not auxiliary to the G. A. R., but consider them¬ 
selves a part of it. Every honorably discharged 
soldier and his family may become members of the 
order. The order is designed to be social and char¬ 
itable. The following is its declaration of prin¬ 
ciples: “To unite with loyalty to our country a 
sisterly love and affection for each other, parallel 
with the comradeship among the Grand Army of 
the Republic; to honor the memory of our fallen 
heroes; to perpetuate and keep forever sacred, 
Memorial Day; to assist the Grand Army in its 
high and holy mission, and encourage and sympa¬ 
thize with them in their noble work; to aid sick 
soldiers and sailors and their families; to do all in 
our power to alleviate suffering; to look after the 
soldiers’ homes and soldiers’ orphans’ homes, and 
see that the children who leave the homes are pro¬ 
vided with proper situations; to watch the public 
schools and see that the children and youths obtain 
proper education in the true history of our country, 
and in the principles of loyalty and patriotism.”

HON. M. E. INGALLS, 


CHAIRMAN OF THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE. 


ON. M. E. INGALLS, Chairman of the 
Citizens’ Committee, is a New England¬ 
er by birth, and has brought to bear 
on all the problems that have confronted him the 
grit and energy, coupled with high purpose and 
steadfastness which characterizes the old pilgrim 
stock, and has given them an enduring place in the 
material and mor¬ 
al development of 
this continent. He 
was born in Maine 
in 1842, and after 
receiving a good 
education in local 
schools, he pushed 
out into business 
life and held posi¬ 
tions with several 
commercial con¬ 
cerns before enter¬ 
ing that great field 
of modern activity 
wherein the best 
years of his life 
have been spent. 

Mr. Ingalls enter¬ 
ed railway service 
in November, 1870, 
since which time 
he has been identi¬ 
fied with some of 
the greatest rail¬ 
road undertakings 
in this country. 

He was first con¬ 
nected with the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and 
Lafayette road and became its President and 
subsequently was appointed receiver for the com¬ 
pany. Upon the reorganization of the road in July, 
1873, he was again made President, a position he 
held until its failure in 1876, when he was a second 
time appointed a receiver. In November, 1880, the 
road was reorganized as the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, 
St. Louis and Chicago Railway, of which Mr. In¬ 


galls was made President, and he held that position 
until 1889, when the road was consolidated with 
the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indian¬ 
apolis Railway under the name of the Cleveland, 
Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, popu¬ 
larly known as the “Big Four.” Mr. Ingalls as¬ 
sumed the Presidency of this road, a position he 

still retains. Be¬ 
sides being con¬ 
nected with the 
“Big Four” sys¬ 
tem and its prede¬ 
cessors for so many 
years, Mr. Ingalls 
was President of 
the Kentucky Cen¬ 
tral Railroad from 
1881 to 1883, and 
in 1888 he became 
President of the 
Chesapeake and 
Ohio, a position 
he still holds. It 
was his recogni¬ 
tion of the work 
of the Young 
Men’s Christian 
Association and 
its varied qualifi¬ 
cations to meet the 
needs of railroad 
men, which led to 
the establishment 
of association 
buildings at con¬ 
venient centers along the main line of this road. 

Mr. Ingalls lives in a palatial residence on 
Madison Road. His family is well known in upper 
social and church circles. Mr. Ing'alls is an orator 
of much ability and his voice has often been lifted 
on public questions of moment. He is a friend of 
the soldier, and, as stated elsewhere, did much to 
secure the 32nd National Encampment of the G. 
A. R. for Cincinnati.

COL. H.vi. B. MELISH, 

Executive Director of the 32nd National Encampment of the Grand^Army of the Republic. 


I HE major portion of the credit for the suc¬ 
cess of the 32nd National Encampment 
< ? 1 of the Grand Army of the Republic is 
undoubtedly due to Col. Wm. B Melish, 
President of the Bromwell Brush and Wire Goods 
Company. Not only did the subject of this sketch 
assist in bringing- the encampment to the Queen 
City of the West, but he has worked unremittingly 
to make the visit of the veterans a success. The 
selection of Col Melish to the position of Execu¬ 
tive Director was a 
wise one, as no man 
in Cincinnati is bet¬ 
ter fitted for the posi¬ 
tion. He is possessed 
of remarkable exec¬ 
utive ability and a 
faculty for handling 
details. No citizen 
of Cincinnati, or of 
Ohio for that matter, 
is better or more 
favorably known 
than Col. Melish. 

He is especially well 
known in social and 
Masonic circles, and 
is a post prandial 
orator of more than 
ordinary ability. 

W m . Bromwell 
Melish was born 
July 28, 1852, at 

Wilmington, O., and 
is a son of Rev. 

Thomas J. and Maria 
(Bromwell) Melish, 
natives of Philadel¬ 
phia and Ohio respec¬ 
tively. Rev. Thomas 
J. Melish was for 
many years rector of 
St. Philip’s Church, 

Protestant Episco¬ 
pal, Northside, Cin¬ 
cinnati, and resided 
in the city from 1845 
until his death in 
1896. His father, 

John Melish, was 
born at Paisley, Scotland, and came to Phila¬ 
delphia in 1817, where he became a prominent 
book publisher. His wife’s parents, William 
and Sarah, (Davis) Bromwell, came to Maryland 
from England in 1819. The subject of this 
sketch is the second in a family of ten children. 
He attended the Cincinnati public schools and 
graduated in Denison University, at Granville, 
Ohio. 

While a successful business man, Col. Melish has 
arisen to prominence also in social and Masonic 
circles. In 1873 he was initiated as a Mason at 
Milford, Ohio. His advancement was rapid, and 
three months later he was a Scottish Rite Mason, 


and is now Past Grand Commander of Knights 
Templar of Ohio, and also a Past Grand Master. 
In the A. A. Scottish Rite he stands prominently 
noticeable. As a ritualist he has a deservedly high 
reputation. He is now a thirty-third degree Mason, 
and Commander-in-Chief of Ohio Consistory, the 
largest subordinate masonic body in the world. In 
the city of Cincinnati his Masonic labors have been 
prodigious — relieving the distressed, whose calami¬ 
ties were caused by the great floods of 1883 and 

1894,—and in the 
building of the new 
Scottish Rite Ca¬ 
thedral. He institu¬ 
ted Syrian Temple, 
A. A. O. N. M. S., 
in the city of Cincin¬ 
nati, and was also 
largely instrumental 
in establishing tem¬ 
ples at other points. 
In 1892 he was elec¬ 
ted Imperial Poten- 
tate for North 
America, the highest 
position in the order, 
in which capacity he 
presided at the great 
annual conclave at 
Cincinnati in 1893, 
and served a second 
term in 1895. He is 
now Grand Junior 
Warden of the Grand 
Encampment, Knights 
Templar of the Uni¬ 
ted States. 

In politics, Col. 
Melish has always 
been a Republican. 
While his large busi¬ 
ness interests have 
heretofore led him to 
decline nomination 
for public office, he, 
in 1898, accepted an 
appointment as one 
of a Board of Trus¬ 
tees to build new 
Water Works for 
Cincinnati, a position of large public trust. In 
1896 he was appointed Senior Aide-de-Camp with 
the rank of Colonel on the staff of Governor Asa 
S. Bushnell While he is an ardent supporter of 
Republican principles, he is too fearless and inde¬ 
pendent to submit to the dictation of party bosses, 
and he does not hesitate to openly oppose gang rule. 
Col. Melish is a member of the Queen City Club, 
the Manufacturers Club, Vice-President of the 
Chamber of Commerce, President of the Cincinnati 
League, and is connected with a host of commer¬ 
cial organizations in all of which he is an active 
member whose untiring energies are highly appre¬ 
ciated and whose counsel is much sought after.

CASPER H. ROWE , 


Treasurer of tlie Citizens’ Committee. 


F EW Cincinnatians are better or more favorably known than 
Mr. Casper H- Rowe, the clever Treasurer of the Citizens’ 
Committee. He has long been prominent in affairs of the 
Queen City of the West, and numbers his friends by the thousand. 
Mr. Rowe is the Vice President of the Market National Bank, a 
flourishing financial in¬ 
stitution at the northwest 
corner of Fourth and 
Plum Streets. He is also 
the General Manager of 
the immense business of 
Fleischmann& Co., distil¬

cupied. Mr. Rowe is mar¬ 
ried and lives in a hand¬ 
some residence at 789

been steady, and of late 
years be has come to be 
recognized as one of the 
successful men of Cincin¬ 
nati. He was selected 
from the Citizens’ Com- casper h. rowe. 

mittee as the most suitable 

man for the position of Treasurer of the Committee, and it has 
been repeatedly shown that no mistake was made. His ability as 
a financier is unquestioned, and his promotion to the high po¬ 
sition which he holds with one of the leading corporations of the 
state was merited. The funds of the Citizens’ Committee have 
been handled in an acceptable way by Mr. Rowe, whose advice 
and counsel have been of much service to his co-workers.

There are always 

“Two Sides to Every Story” 

(See opposite page), but the real reason for the 
G. A. R.’s coming to Cincinnati lies in the fact 
that the “boys” decided that in no way could the 
members and visitors be sent home in so happy a 
frame of mind and be assured of such a royal wel¬ 
come as by enabling them to carry home a box of 
Mullane’s justly famous Candies.

How Cincinnati Secured the 32d National Encampment of the 

Grand Army of the Republic. 


i _ INCINNATI has long been noted for the hospitable way 
in which strangers are entertained. The city has 
V ^ many natural advantages for handling large gather¬ 
ings and when the matter of selecting a place for 
holding the 32d National Encampment of the Grand Army of 
the Republic was discussed prominent citizens of the Queen 
City of the West concluded to press her many claims. After 
an informal discussion in which prominent Cincinnatians parti¬ 
cipated it was resolved to send a committee to Buffalo, N. Y., 
where the 31st National Encampment was in session to lay the 
claim of Cincinnati before the assembled veterans The commit¬ 
tee was composed of the following well-known gentlemen: Col. 
W B Melish, President of the Convention Eeague, Chairman; 
Hon. M. E Ingalls President of the Big Four and C. and O. Rail¬ 
roads ; Mayor Gustav Tafel, Congressman Jacob Bromwell, Gen¬ 
eral Michael Ryan, Assistant United States Treasurer, and Cap¬ 
tain J. Milt. Blair, then President of the Chamber of Commerce. 

These gentlemen went to Buffalo with a firm determination 
to bring the 32d National Encampment of the Grand Army of 
the Republic to Cincinnati and how well they succeeded is now 
well known The sentiment of the committee was fully ex¬ 
pressed by Chairman Melish in an interview in Buffalo. He 
said in part: “ We have but one object in view, and that is to 
secure the next encampment of the G. A. R. We come as 
representatives of the business men and patriotic people of Cin¬ 
cinnati to extend as cordial invitation as we know how to the 
old soldiers to meet with us in 1898. We have nothing to do 
with any other feature of the G. A. R. Encampment, or with 
any one’s candidacy for office. We believe that Cincinnati is 
entitled to the next Encampment. It has been more than a 
quarter of a century since the veterans gathered there in 1869. 
We are centrally located with railroads coming from every sec¬ 
tion of the country We have more than 600 miles of improved 
streets, many of them paved with asphalt. We have over 350 
miles of electric street railroad lines, ample hotel facilities and 
pleasure resorts until you can’t rest. Furthermore, we can 
raise a large entertainment fund and give the old soldiers and 
their friends as good a time as they ever had.” 

The pleasant task of extending the formal invitation to the 
veterans to meet in Cincinnati in 1898 fell to Mr. Ingalls. His 
well-known stand years ago in favor of low rates to G. A. R. 
encampments made him deservedly popular with the boys in 
blue and he was listened to with rapt attention. Mr Ingalls’ 
speech was one of his characteristic happy addresses. He spoke 
as follows: 

‘‘Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Grand Army: 
It is my pleasant task to present to you the invitation of the 
business men of Cincinnati and I will endeavor to do it as well 
as is possible in the limit of five minutes which I understand is 
assigned me. 

It would perhaps have been much better if this invitation 
could have been presented by some of the eloquent members of 
our organization, but it was thought best that it should be pre¬ 
sented by me as representing the business people of that city We 
think that we can take better care of you than any other city on 
earth. We have hotel facilities such as no other city on this 
continent has outside perhaps of Chicago and New York. We 
have sufficient. 

We have railways to transport you to that city. There 
are fifteen lines centering in Cincinnati and they reach all the 
prominent centers of population in this central territory, and 
they have each and all agreed that they will make the usual 
one-cent a mile fare for your organization. Now, gentlemen, 
we ask you to come, because we think there is no place in 


America where so many of you can go for so little money. A 
fare of $6.00 or less reaches the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, 
Pittsburg, Eexington and Louisville. It reaches probably 
one-half of your organization. It will be a fare of five or six 
dollars and one night’s ride to the laige bulk of your members 
residing in the Central States. As a matter of expense we think 
there is nothing that can compare with this. In the next place 
we want to show you our city and how it has improved in the 
last ten years. It requires, perhaps, a little boldness in the city 
of Buffalo to talk about the paved streets and smooth surfaces 
for marching, and pleasure resorts, but when you reach Cincin¬ 
nati you will wonder you have ever been contented to go any¬ 
where else We have 350 miles of the best traction railway in the 
United States, which will be at your service. We have places of 
resort, the Lagoon, Coney Island, the Zoo and hill tops, and for 
those who do not belong to the temperance societies, some fine 
beer gardens, and we will make the days pass with you so de¬ 
lightfully, and a portion of the night, that you will regret you 
ever have to leave us. 

We are not here as a business enterprise entirely. We want 
to show you the hospitality of our city You visited it nearly 
thirty years ago when your organization was in its swaddling 
clothes, when we were a city crude and unkempt. Today we 
have grown to 300,000 in mighty organization, and we have 
grown from a country village to one of the best and livliest 
cities on earth. It is meet that we should come together and 
compare our growth and improvement. We promise you that 
of a half million people that live in our city, four hundred and 
seventy five thousand shall be your hosts and spend their days 
entertaining you. It is a city that is famed for its hospitality. 
No man or woman for the last ten years has entered its gates 
in the proper manner who did not go away with pleasant 
thoughts and memories. We want to bring you from all the 
cities of this nation. We have a pride in it. We have had no 
large meeting there for several years. Not since we have im¬ 
proved our streets and parks, and as they say in the song, “we 
want you, honey, and we want you mighty bad.” 

The Commander-in-Chief notified the speaker that his time 
was up and by unanimous consent it was extended one minute. 
Mr. Ingalls continued: 

“As you know, the city is on the Ohio River. It is nearly 
in the center of population of the United States. It is beauti¬ 
ful in its streets, its private residences, its parks and its hills, 
and I have wandered far and wide in this world and have never 
yet seen a fairer land than that between the two Miamis. where 
is Cincinnati. Now come, my friends, come, and we will guar¬ 
antee to you a warm welcome and the best attention that warm 
hearts can give you.” 

Chairman Melish appeared before the ladies of the Relief 
Corps and made a formal invitation to that well-known organi¬ 
zation, which is auxiliary to the G. A. R., to also meet in Cin¬ 
cinnati. Representative Bromwell extended a similar invita¬ 
tion to the Ladies of the G. A. R. Invitations were also ex¬ 
tended to members of kindred organizations who usually meet 
with the veterans of the late war. The thorough manner in 
which the above named committee did its work is now almost 
too well known to require comment at this time. The head¬ 
quarters of the committee were established on the ground floor 
of the Iroquois Hotel, just across the hall from the elevator en* 
trance. These admirable quarters were selected some time 
before the Buffalo encampment The headquarters were taste¬ 
fully decorated with National colors and something to cheer the 
hearts of the veterans who came in contact with the hustling 
representatives of the Ohio metropolis.

193d Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and on Oc¬ 
tober 15, 1864, was transferred to Capt. W. R. Jones’ 
Independent Company, 97th Pennsylvania, Volun¬ 
teer Infantry, and was finally mustered out June 17, 
1865, by reason of the close of the war. For the 
past 21 years Judge Torrance has been a leading 
lawyer of Minneapolis. He is a member of the 
Loyal Legion and Sons of the American Revolution. 


Charles Burrows, Quartermaster-General, G. A. R. 

(hARLES BURROWS, Quartermaster-General of 
V—a, the Grand Army of the Republic, resides 
in Rutherford, N. J. In Grand Army circles Charles 
Burrows is particularly well known. At National 
Encampments he is a familiar figure, and it has 
been remarked that he has never been an absentee 
from the great annual gatherings of the Grand 
Army during the past thirty years. He is 52 years 
old. Mr. Burrows served in the late war from the 
beginning. At the age of 17 he joined the 14th 
Massachusetts Infantry, then later, in 1862, the 1st 
Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. Still later he joined 
the famous Hancock’s Corps, the United States 
Veteran Volunteers. Active service in plenty fell to 
his share. At the close of the war he joined Lin¬ 
coln Post in the Massachusetts G. A. R , and when, a 
few years later, he moved to New Jersey, he identi¬ 
fied himself with Farragut Post, which was organ¬ 
ized in 1871. He has been successively Adjutant 
and Commander, and later, Commander of the De¬ 
partment of New Jersey, to which honor he was 
elected in 1874, and re-elected the following vear. 
At the State encampments he is rarely an absentee. 
Higher honors fell to him when he was elected 
Quartermaster-General, an office entailing con¬ 
siderable responsibility and much trust, together 
with the handling of funds. Mr. Burrows is a bank 
cashier by profession. 


Ell Torrance, Judge Advocate-General. 

J UDGE ELL TORRANCE, Judge Advocate- 
General of the Grand Army of the Republic, was 
born at New Alexandria, Westmoreland County, Pa., 
May 16, 1844. He descended from patriotic stock, 
his grandfather, Major Hugh Torrance, having 
served with distinction in the Revolutionary War. 
His father, Rev. Adam Torrance, was for half a 
century a distinguished minister of the Presbyterian 
Church. At the outbreak of the Civil War Judge Tor¬ 
rance was under the age of military service, but, 
with his parents’ consent, offered his services to his 
country, and was on the 26th day of June, 1 61, en¬ 
rolled as a member of Company A, 9th Pennsylva¬ 
nia Reserves, and continued in the service until the 
close of the war. His military record is a most 
honorable one. For almost three years he carried 
a musket, and with the rank and file did his full 
duty. He participated in the battles of Drainsville, 
Mechanicsville, Gaine’s Mill, Charles City cross 
roads, Malvern Hill, second battle of Bull Run— 
where he was wounded—Gettysburg, Mine Run and 
other lesser engagements. July 19, 1864, he was 


Rev. Frank C. Bruner, ChapIain-in-Chief. 

Dev. FRANK C. BRUNER, Chaplain-in-Chief 

A >-—v the Grand Army of the Republic, is 

a member of George H. Thomas Post, of Chicago. 
He has a notable record as a soldier, preacher 
and orator. Mr. Bruner is a veteran, the son 
of a veteran and grandson of a veteran. He 
went to war at 15, and three generations carried 
a musket for Old Glory. Few can talk on war 
topics as he can, for he was promoted for brav¬ 
ery in battle. His lectures have won high praise 
and are entitled to it. His subjects are strik¬ 
ingly original In his style of thought and sim¬ 
plicity of expression he has been compared to the 
world’s most renowned preachers, orators and lec¬ 
turers. Seldom does he say a dry thing. Mr. Bru¬ 
ner at once arrests the attention of his audience and 
holds it as if by magic, carrying it whithersoever 
he wills. One of his most eloquent lecture subjects 
is “ The Brown Button worn by the Grand Army 
of the Republic.” 


Alonzo Williams, Inspector-General G. A. R. 

LONZO WILLIAMS, the newly appointed 
1 A——^ Inspector-General upon the staff of 
Commander-in-Chief Gobin, was born September 14, 
1842. He is a direct lineal descendant of the distin- > 
guished founder of the State of Rhode Island, Roger 
Williams, and his family has resided in this State 
since the arrival of its great ancestor in 1636. The 
father of Comrade Williams died when the latter was 
but two years of age, leaving several children, and in 
order to save the old homestead hand-down in the 1 
family, the children were obliged to work at an 
early age The future soldier-bov commenced to 
work in a cotton mill owned by Governor Philip 
Allen and later by Governor James Y. Smith, in 
the town of Scituate, where he remained until the 
Civil War broke out, passing in the meantime 
through every department from the picker-room to 
the weave shop, in which he was assistant overseer 
at eighteen years of age, when his country sum¬ 
moned him to another occupation, and he left the 
looms forever. September 5, 1861, he entered as a 
private in Company A, 3rd Regiment, Rhode Island 
Heavy Artillery, serving continually in the field 
for four years; was mustered out a 2nd Lieutenant 
in Light Artillery August 4, 1865. During his 
term of service, he served in several arms of the 
service, viz: Infantry, Heavy Artillery, Navy and 
Light Artillery, participating in such important 
sieges as that of Fort Pulaski at Savannah and of 
Charleston, taking part in the many important en¬ 
gagements in which his famous regiment played

such a prominent part, including the hardships and 
stirring experiences of Sherman’s march through 
the Carolinas in the winter and following spring of 
1864-5. Prof. Williams laid the foundation of°his 
education while working in the cotton factory, often 
poring all night over his books, until the factor}’ 
bell in the morning summoned him to another day’s 
toil. Prof. Williams is now connected with the facul¬ 
ty of Williams College, his chair of Germanic Lan¬ 
guages being one of the most important in the 
college. He is popular in Grand Army circles and 
usually attends the National Encampments. 


Milton A. Gherst, Senior Aide-de-Camp. 

AA ILTON A. GHERST, Senior Aide-de-Camp 
^ '— ~ of the Grand Army of the Republic, 
was born in Lebanon County, Pa., July 11, 1847. 
When not quite sixteen years of age he enlisted in 
Company F of the 48th Pennsylvania Militia, which 
was organized to repel the invasion of that state by 
Gen. Lee. He was discharged from this service on 
August 26, 1863, but re-enlisted on January 28th, 
1864, in Company A of the 14th Pennsylvania Cav¬ 
alry, and served with the regiment during all its 
campaigns in West Virginia, and later under Sher¬ 
idan in the Shenandoah Valley, particularly in the 
battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar 
Creek. On February 19, 1865, Comrade Gherst was 
captured at Ashby’s Gap and taken to Richmond 
and confined in Libby Prison, where he was kept 
until preparations for evacuation were begun, when 
all prisoners were paroled He was afterwards sent 
to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and was detailed as 
escort for Gen. G. M. Dodge, then conducting an 
Indian campaign. Mr. Gherst joined the Grand 
Army of the Republic early in 1867. He has always 
been an active member of the organization. He 
was Commander of his home post for one year, and 
Adjutant for eight years. He has been a frequent 
delegate to department and national encampments. 
Mr. Gherst is at present a bank examiner. 


Alfred Lyth, Senior Vice=Commander. 

^OMRADE ALFRED LYTH is a member of Bid- 
V—well-Wilkenson Post, No. 9, of Buffalo, 
his connection with the order of the G. A. R. hav¬ 
ing extended from its early existence. In the local 
posts of Buffalo, in the Department of New York 
and in Lhe National organization his interest in the 
Grand Army has been continually manifested. Of 
a courteous, genial manner, and a worker always 
for the advancement of the Order, he has won a 
large acquaintance and a host of friends throughout 
the United States. 

Alfred Lyth comes of a family to whom pluck, 
persistence, endurance and business sagacity would 
seem to be a heritage. His father. John Lyth, Sr., 
now at the head of the firm of John Lyth & Sons, 
proprietors of the largest terra cotta and tile works 
in the United States, emigrated to America in 1850, 
bringing his family to Buffalo in July of that year, 
and obtaining his first employment there in a brick 
yard at Cold Spring, where his wages were seventy- 
five cents a day. 

Alfred Lyth, the oldest son of the family, was 
under age when the Civil War broke out, and his 
parents would not consent to his enlisting upon 


Lincoln s first call for troops, but his patriotic in¬ 
spirations were evidently no more easily discouraged 
than his father’s business instincts, and he later 
joined the 100th New York Volunteers and went 
directly to the front. 

Mr Lyth received an honorable discharge at the 
close of the war. He afterward enlisted and served 
seven years in various positions in the 14th Regi¬ 
ment N. G., S. N. Y., resigning as major. 


David Mackay, M.D., Surgeon-General. 

D A\TD MACKAY, M.D., Surgeon-General of 
^ the G. A. R., was born in 1832, and was 
educated in Glasgow, Scotland. He was Assistant 
Surgeon of the British navy during the ' Crimean 
War. He came to this country in 1857 and became 
an ardent Abolitionist. While practicing his pro¬ 
fession in Brooklyn in 1861, he volunteered as pri¬ 
vate in the 79th New York (Highlanders). He 
was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of that regi¬ 
ment, and at the expiration of its three years’ term 
was recommissioned Surgeon of the 29th U. S C T , 
serving as such till honorably discharged at close 
of war. Settling at New Orleans, La., was ap¬ 
pointed Surgeon-in-Charge of the Marine Hospital 
in that city in 1867, becoming an “immune” and 
losing his whole family—wife and child—by the 
yellow fever epidemic of that year. Subsequently 
he was for three years City Physician of New Or¬ 
leans. He has been in active professional practice 
in his present home, Dallas, Texas, since 1871. 

Dr. Mackay is well known as an earnest advocate 
of dietetic reform, which he considers the basis of 
all other reforms, and has been a vegetarian except 
during actual war for nearly half a century. 


Ladies’ Aid Society, Auxiliary to S. of V. 

1 HE Ladies’ Aid Society, the recognized auxili- 
ary to the Sons of Veterans, was organized 
in Pennsylvania in 1883, and was formed for the 
purpose of aiding the Union Army, from ’61 to ’65. 

In 1887, at Akron, Ohio, the Sons of Veterans 
acknowledged it, and recognized the helpfulness of 
a woman’s auxiliary, as practically shown by the 
Woman’s Relief Corps in assisting the Grand Army, 
decided to strengthen their body by a helpmate. 

The objects and principles of the two organiza¬ 
tions are the same ; and working together as they 
do, will perpetuate the glorious, patriotic work of 
their fathers. 

The present roll shows fifteen regularly organ 
ized Divisions and twelve Provisional Societies, 
with a membership of over 6000.

Something of Interest about Covington, Newport, Bellevue, Dayton, Ludlow, 

Bromley, and Other Kentucky Places. 


"In 


r HE first known settler upon the ground on 
which Covington stands was George Mews, 
a soldier who secured title under a proclamation 
immediately after the French and Indian wars. 
Mews sold the land to Stephen Prigg, who sold it 
to John Taylor, who sold it to Thomas Kennedy, 


Ham Riedlin; 1896-97, Gus. W. Menninger; 1897-98, 
W C. Hiles. 

The growth of Covington has been steady and 
substantial, and the city is now one of the foremost 
in Kentucky. The police and fire departments of 
the city are in keeping with similar departments in 



PLANT OF THE HIGGIN MANUFACTURING CO., NEWPORT, KY. 


who farmed it until 1815, when some Cincinnati 
men purchased it and founded the town of Coving¬ 
ton. Its population in 1880 was 29,720; in 1890 
37,371, and a conservative estimate now places it at 
58,000. The town of Covington was established 
February 8,1815, with the following Trustees: Uriel 
Sebree, Alfred Sebree, Joseph Kennedy, William 
Hubble and John C, Buckner. The City of Coving¬ 
ton was incorporated February 4, 1834, and the first 
officers were: Mayor, M. M. Benton; City Attorney, 
W. W. Sandford; Treasurer, George B. Marshall; 
Clerk, Hamilton Martin; Marshal, Edward G. 
Bloder. By the enactment of the new charter for 
cities of the second class, the Board of Aldermen 
was established in 1891. The Presidents to date 
have been: 1891-95, John C. Droege; 1895-96, Wil- 


other cities of the same class. The banks are solid, 
and, taken as a whole, Covington is a live and pros¬ 
perous municipality. 

NEWPORT. 

Simon Kenton settled on the site of Newport in 
1771. Two years later Hancock Taylor and Cap¬ 
tain Thomas Bullitt built a house where Kenton 
had his camp. In 1780 Hubbard Taylor, a civil 
engineer from Virginia, and Peter McArthur laid 
out a town and called it Newport. On December 
14, 1795, an act establishing the town of Newport 
was passed by the Legislature. Compbell County 
then included all that territory now occupied by 
Kenton, Pendleton, Bracken and Mason Counties, 
with parts of Boone and other counties. In 1869

the population of Newport was 15,000; in 1890, 
24,678, and now it is estimated at 35,000. In 1869 
the assessed valuation of all property was $3,500,000, 
and the last assessment that was made exceeded 
$12,000,000. The tax rate is $1.80 on $100, and the 
revenue derived is $216,000. The first trustees of 
Newport were: Washing-ton Berry, Daniel Dug-g-an, 
Thomas Kennedy, Henry Brasher, Nathan Kelly, 
James McClure and Thomas Lindsey. In 1875 the 
Mayor was made President of the Council, and Hon. 
A. S. Berry, who was elected to fill the unexpired term 
of Louis Constans (resigned),was the first Mayor to 
serve as President of the Council. This was the 
law until the new charter of 1893, when Michael 
Donelan was President and served until 1896, when 
George McGinniss was elected. The Board of Al¬ 
dermen was established in 1891 by the enactment 
of a charter for cities of the second class The 
Presidents have been: 1891-95, A. J. Mossett; 
1895-96, Oliver Thompson. Newport’s city offices 
are well administered and the city is a thrifty one. 
It will go down in history as the city where Scott 
Jackson and Alonzo Walling, the murderers of 
Pearl Bryan, were executed. One of Newport’s 
largest manufacturing plants is the Higgin Manu¬ 
facturing Co. 

DAYTON. 

March 12, 1867, the two towns of Brooklyn and 
Jamestown were consolidated under the name of 
Dayton. The population is now almost 8,000, and 
the taxable property is valued at $2,200,000. The 
city is lighted by electricity, and has rapid transit 
to Cincinnati. It also has an excellent water system 
and fire protection. The original Trustees or Coun- 
cilmen were : James Keslar, L. Degenhart, George 
Nolte, Joseph Schuh, H. Havelin, George Bricker, 
George Van Sant, James Streder, and Anton Link, 
President. Lewis Kueven was the first City Clerk. 
Many persons who are employed in Cincinnati re¬ 
side in Dayton. The town is clean and well paved, 
and is constantly growing. The Dayton sandbar 
is famous as a bathing place and is a Mecca for 
swimmers during the heated period. 

LUDLOW. 

The City of Ludlow was founded by Israel Lud¬ 
low, who made the first plat of the town in 1846. 
The population is between 4,000 and 5,000, and the 
town is constantly growing. The tax valuation is 
$1,539,977. The tax rate for 1896 was $1.33 on 
$100. A more delightful place to live in than Lud¬ 
low would be most difficult to find. It overlooks 
the Ohio river and is surrounded by the famous 
Kentucky highlands. The town is noted for the 
famous Lagoon, which is just outside the corpora¬ 
tion line. This is a famous summer resort, and is 
possibly the prettiest inland place of the kind in 
America. Ludlow has electric light and all other 


modern improvements The views along the river 
from Ludlow are very fine, and the town could not 
have been laid out in a more picturesque spot. It 
is safe to say that this thriving town is destined to 
become one of the leading Kentucky cities, as it has 
all the natural advantages. Property is constantly 
increasing in value, and real estate men who live in 
Ludlow have little trouble in disposing of property 
there. 

BELLEVUE. 

The City of Bellevue is probably the prettiest of 
Cincinnati’s Kentucky suburbs. It was incorpora¬ 
ted March 15, 1870, by George D. Allen, John Peak, 
William H. Robson, Spencer C. Reeves, and Reuben 
Tedrow, who were its first trustees. Population, 
5,5b0; area, over a thousand acres; tax rate, $1.25 
on $100; valuation, $1,850,000. There are 40,000 
feet of macadamized and graveled streets, and 3,000 
feet of brick streets. The town is lighted by gas 
and electricity, and has an excellent water supply. 
A prettier place for a residence than Bellevue would, 
indeed, be hard to find. The place boasts of some 
very fine suburban residences. Bellevue has a 
number of good leading business men, among them 
Chas. P. Matti, who has the leading real estate and 
insurance business in the city, represents four fire 
insurance companies, and does a general real estate 
and loan business. He is also Grand Chief of 
Kentucky of K. G. E. Politically he is a Democrat, 
always prominently affiliated. In 1895, under Judge 
T. M. Hill, he was appointed on the County Board 
of Equalization. 

BROMLEY. 

Bromley was founded in 1848 by Charles Collins. 
It has about 500 residents. The town is nicely laid 
out, and is kept in good shape by the town authori¬ 
ties. Many residents of Bromley work on the Ohio 
side of the river. The tax rate in Bromley is 50 
cents on $100. The tax duplicate shows $106,000. 
The town is well provided with churches, schools 
and other needful institutions. Taken altogether, 
Bromley is a very nice town, with good prospects 
for the future. 

OTHER KENTUCKY PLACES. 

A number of thriving villages are located on the 
Kentucky side of the Ohio river within a few min¬ 
utes’ ride of Cincinnati. Prominent among the 
places of this class are West Covington, Central 
Covington and Milldale. The name of the last 
mentioned village has been changed to Latonia. 
This was probably done on account of the famous 
Latonia race track being located near the town. 
West Covington and Central Covington are both 
growing and prosperous places. It might be proper 
to say in this connection that the Kentucky suburbs 
are all nice, growing towns with a bright future.

I HE first annual session of the Sons of Veterans

Various Orders of a Military Character which are 

Auxiliary to the G. A. R. 


National Alliance of the Daughters of Veterans. 

I HIS organization first saw existence on June 10th, 1885, at 
p | Massillon, Ohio, the first local tent being named after 
Mrs Wm. McKinley. The idea of the organization was 
conceived by five school girls, under fifteen years of age, who 
had annually assisted in strewing flowers on the graves of de¬ 
ceased veterans on Memorial Day. In that city a flower brigade 
was formed of young ladies who assisted the veterans in decora¬ 
tion ceremonies. While returning from a cemetery, after hav¬ 
ing assisted in the work, these young ladies decided to form a 
permanent organization, whose purpose it should be to continue 
the service after death shall have removed all the veterans 
and left to others the perpetuation of their memories. 

The charter membership of the first tent numbered four¬ 
teen. They immediately secured a charter from the State of 
Ohio, empowering them to form branches of their organization 
in any states of the Union. The local organizations are called 
“Tents,” and were first organized throughout the State of Ohio, 
then in Illinois, and shortly after in Iowa, The order became 
established throughout the East, and at present is represented 
in almost every state in the Union. 

Massachusetts is accredited with the largest number in 
membership of any state of the Union. The principles are a 
belief in the Almighty God; true loyalty to the government. 
The objects, the perpetuation of the memories of the loyal sol¬ 
diers of the Union; to keep green the memory and history of 
those who participated, and to assist them and their widows 
and orphans when helpless and in distress; to inculcate a love 
of country and patriotism among women, and to commemorate 
the deeds of the fallen comrades annually on Memorial Day. 

Daughters and granddaughters only of honorably dis¬ 
charged soldiers, sailors and marines, who served during the re¬ 
bellion and have attained the age of fifteen years, are eligible. 

The Loyal Home-Workers. 

An association organized at Boston, August 13th, 1890, as 
The National Tribune Conversation Club Guards, by members 
of The National Tribune Conversation Club, for mutual benefit 
and the more practical inforcement of the principles of progress 
and patriotism through the press, discussions at reunions, and 
correspondence. Its objects are: 

First. Progress—pertaining to all that tends to develop 
American intelligence on topics of the day, and the adoption of 
ways and means to secure this end. 

Second. Patriotism—historical study of our country and 
discussion thereon, which keeps alive the spirit of American 
independence and loyalty. 

Third. Charity—providing for the relief of the suffering 
and afflicted. Its pledge is as follows: 

Believing that loyalty to the Union is fidelity to the cause 
of liberty, equality and the elevation of mankind, I solemnly 
pledge myself to sacredly guard our free institutions, and, to 
the extent of my ability, I will endeavor to disseminate a 
knowledge of their great underlying principles in the commun¬ 
ity in which I live, and I will stand by our country and our flag 
in all times of peril. 

I further pledge myself to an unselfish interest and labor 
in all lines of work of the association, for the promotion of 
progress in all that elevates our American life. 

And I further pledge myself that I will, as I have ability 
and opportunity, extend in the spirit of charity, sympathy and 
aid to those in distress and need, especially to the membership 
of our association. 

The annual reunion of the Loyal Home-Workers is always 


held at the same time and place as the National Grand Army 
Encampment. 

National Association of Union Ex-Prisoners of War. 

The National Association of Union Ex-Prisoners of War 
has been in existence for twenty-three years. It is composed 
of those who were confined in Southern prisons during the war. 

The objects of the society are fraternal and benevolent, 
and members are bound by the ties of companionship in arms 
during the war, and associations in military prisons, to perpetu¬ 
ate the name and fame of those who died in Southern prisons, 
and to assist and protect the needy among the membership and 
families of those deceased. 

The organization has local associations in nearly every 
state. In addition to the local associations reporting to the 
National Association, there are a number of individual members 
in various sections where there are not sufficient ex-prisoners to 
organize a local organization. The association has in its ranks 
nearly all surviving Union ex-prisoners. The reunions of the 
organization take place annually during the National G. A. R. 
Encampment. 

The National Association of Naval Veterans. 

The National Association of Naval Veterans of the United 
States was organized in New York City, in January, 1887, but 
some of the bodies composing the association were organized as 
early as 1867. 

The principles of the association are: First. A firm belief 
and trust in Almighty God. Second. True allegiance to the 
United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for 
and fidelity to the constitution and laws. Third. The devel¬ 
opment of the United States Navy. Fourth. To discounte¬ 
nance whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, excite insurrection, 
treason or rebellion. 

The objects of the association, as defined in its constitution, 
are to cherish the memory and associations of the war of the 
late rebellion; to perpetuate the glorious name and deeds of our 
navy; to strengthen the ties of fraternal fellowship and sym¬ 
pathy; to advance its interest, and to extend all possible relief 
to the friendship that was formed more than thirty-two years 
ago, and independent but concertive action of naval veterans 
throughout the country. There are now on the roll of the asso¬ 
ciation the names and addresses of over 10,000 naval veterans. 

The Ladies’ Auxiliary of Naval Veterans. 

This organization is comprised of lady members of the fam¬ 
ilies of veterans who served in the navy during the war Their 
objects are sociability and fraternity, and to aid such work of 
charity that may he needed among naval veterans. They are 
formed as auxiliaries to Naval Associations. Their annual 
gathering is held at the same time and place as the National 
Association of Naval Veterans, which of late years have been 
held during the same week as the National Encampment. 

Women’s National Association, Auxiliary to Union 
Ex-Prisoners of War. 

This organization is composed of the wives and daughters 
of members of the Ex-Prisoners of War Associations, and meets 
at the same time and place as does the National Ex-Prisoners 
of War Association. While its objects are mainly social, it as¬ 
sists in carrying out the principles of the organization with 
which it is associated. It holds a business session at the same 
time and place as the National Encampment.

ble firm is known in all parts of 
the United States and their 
name is an assurance to the 
trade for fair dealing and hon¬ 
orable business methods. Their

family hams has a reputation of 
years’ standing, which is not 
approached by any other kind

dorf by-Wurtzburg,Bavaria,Ger¬

able name has since been identi¬ 
fied. In 1862 Mr, Roth enlisted 
in the New York State Light 
Artillery, and he served with 
distinction throughout the civil 
war. At the end of the rebel¬ 
lion he was honorablv dis¬ 
charged, in 1865. While Mr. 
Roth does not dwell on his dis¬ 
tinguished services during the 
war, it is nevertheless a fact that 
he was a brave soldier and a 
popular comrade. For the past 
33 years Mr Roth has been ac¬ 
tively engaged in the meat in¬ 
dustry, and during that lengthy 
period he has won the friendship 
and esteem of a legion of friends

business competitors. His word 
is as good as his bond, and he 
has many sterling qualities of 
mind and heart. Through the

esting family at 1016 Oehler

up almost an entire block, 
bounded by Freeman avenue, 
Gest and Oehler streets. The 
name of Roth is synonymous 
with honesty and integrity and 
for years to come it will be re¬ 
membered in that way. 


















HISTORICAL SKETCHES 


Of Women at the Head of National Military Organizations Auxiliary to the G. A. R. 



Mrs. Sarah J. Martin, National President Woman’s 
Relief Corps. 

M RS. SARAH J. MARTIN, National President of the 
Woman’s Relief Corps, was born in Wheeling, W.Va. 
At the close of the war she married Capt. Geo W. Mar¬ 
tin, of the 25th Ohio Regiment. The couple moved immediately 
to Brookfield, Missouri, where they have since resided. Mrs. 
Martin’s husband is the 
editor and publisher of 
the Brookfield Gazette. 

He is also a Past Depart¬ 
ment Commander of the 
Missouri G. A. R. For 
the past fourteen years 
Mrs. Martin has been an 
active member of the 
Woman’s Relief Corps. 

As a charter member of 
her own Corps, and of 
the Department she has 
witnessed every phase of 
the Department’s exist¬ 
ence. During two succes¬ 
sive years Mrs. Martin 
served as Chief Executive 
of the Woman’s Relief 
Corps, also as Instituting 
and Installing Officer, 

Chairman of the Execu¬ 
tive Board, twice appoint¬ 
ed by Department Presi¬ 
dents as their Counselor 
on account of her thor¬ 
ough acquaintance with 
the laws of the Order. 

She has always been 
ready to assist each De¬ 
partment President when¬ 
ever called upon and has 
been faithful in attend¬ 
ance at every Department 
Convention. Mrs. Martin has attended ten out of the last four¬ 
teen National Conventions and has always been found working 
for the good of the Order. Mrs. Martin is the wife of an Ohio 
volunteer whose bravery and gallantry is best attested by rapid 
and meritorious promotions and the sacrifice of his right arm 
on the battlefield of Gettysburg. The cause of the veteran 
shall ever be for her sympathy and charity. As the wife of a 
Past Department Commander of the Grand Army of the Re¬ 
public shall ever find her ready to espouse and sustain it, and 
as a mother and grand-mother that line of her work devoted to 
patriotic teachings has been pushed with vigor and enthusiasm, 


Julia A. Croft, National President Daughters of 
Veterans. 

ISb CROFT is a daughter and grand-daughter of a sol¬ 
dier. Her father, Stephen H Croft, served three 
years in Co. “G,” 117th N. Y. Volunteers, and was in 
several prominent battles. 

Miss Croft was a charter member of Emma A. Chester 

Tent No. 6, Daughters of 
Veterans, Cleveland, O. 
In December, 1894, she 
was elected President of 
the tent, which office she 
held for two years. Dur¬ 
ing the first four months 
of her term of office as 
Tent President the mem¬ 
bership of the tent had 
increased to doub e the 
number at the beginning 
of the year. The two 
years she served as Tent 
President her tent was the 
banner tent of the State. 

At the Sixth Annual 
Department Convention 
of Ohio, held at Massil¬ 
lon, she was unanimously 
elected to the office of De¬ 
partment President,which 
office she also held for 
two years. The Conven¬ 
tions held both years were 
very large and interesting 
each year. 

At the Sixth National 
Convention held at Louis¬ 
ville, Ky., she was elected 
a member of National 
Council and served one 
year. 

At the Seventh National 
Convention held at St. Paul, Minn., she was elected National 
Senior Vice President, and at the following convention held at 
Buffalo, N. Y., she was elected as National President. Miss 
Croft has been constantly engaged in forwarding the interest 
of the organization and well attained the office of National 
President. 

Her year as National President has been filled with ardu¬ 
ous duties and heavy responsibilities, but all her work has 
been faithfully and promptly performed and has but added to 
the laurels she had previously won. Doubtless no woman’s 
organization ever had a more youthful National President.

born in Philadelphia, Pa. She is the daughter of the 
late Jeremiah and Eliza Hansbury of Philadelphia, and is the 
granddaughter of the late Surgeon, John R. Reed of German¬ 
town, who served his country in the troublesome times of the 
Revolutionary war The patriotism which ran through the 
veins of her ancestors prompted her when the war broke out, to 
volunteer her services as an Army Nurse, such service was ur¬ 
gently needed by the army of the North, and her proffered aid 
was eagerly accepted. 

Then began four years of 
deprivation and danger, 
but her loyalty was never 
shaken, and for that loy¬ 
alty she received the dy¬ 
ing benediction of many 
a soldier who laid 
down his life for his 
country. Mrs. Woodley

presided The boys from

her soothing presence at

tender care. She was also

Potomac. Some of the 
soldiers she nursed in the 
war are living yet and 
greet her at the different 
conventions. 

Mrs. Woodley is still 
doing work for the old 
soldier, being connected with the home for Veteran and Wife 
in Philadelphia, and has always proved herself the soldiers’ 
friend in peace as she was during the four years of our Civil 
war. She enlisted on the 23rd day of May, 1861, and was hon¬ 
orably discharged May 26th, 1865, having served four years and 
three days.

FORT THOMAS 


Home of the Gallant Sixth Infantry , and one of the most Picturesque 

Spots in America . 


NE of the most interesting- places to visitors 
to the Queen City of the West during- the 32d 
National Encampment of the Grand Army of 
the Republic will be Fort Thomas, the home of the 
g-allant Sixth Infantry, which has rendered such 
valorous service during- the war with Spain. In 
fact, a sight-seeing tour of Cincinnati and vicinity 
is not complete without a visit to this beautiful 
place. 

Fort Thomas is located in the Kentucky High¬ 
lands overlooking the Ohio river. It is almost 
opposite Cone} 7 Island, a noted pleasure resort. 
While scenes along the Hudson river are noted for 
their beauty, the views obtained on the brink of 
the hill overlooking the Ohio river at Port Thomas 
are certainly just as picturesque. The beauty of 
the landscape and other features of Fort Thomas 
make the place a model one for a permanent home 
of Uncle Sam’s gallant boys in blue. It is reached 
by an electric street railway, which reaps a rich 
harvest from pleasure parties who constantly visit 
the Fort. Travelers who have visited all parts of 
the civilized world have no hesitancy in saying 
that Fort Thomas is not excelled by the location 
of any fort for natural beauty. So famous has the 
place become that handsome residences are being 
built in the immediate vicinity by people of afflu¬ 
ence who desire to escape from the city and its at¬ 
tendant heat, dust and other discomforts. It is 
predicted on all hands that within a short period 
the Kentucky Highlands near Fort Thomas, which 
is now but sparingly inhabited, will be dotted with 
some of the most handsome country homes in the 
Middle States. Of late Fort Thomas has been a 
Mecca for visitors on account of the hospital wherein 
are confined many of the heroic fighters that partic¬ 
ipated in the memorable battle at Santiago under 


the gallant Shatter. Here the mothers, sisters, 
daughters and wives of these gallant men have sat 
by their bedsides and listened to thrilling stories 
about the battles with the Dons in Cuba. 

Visitors to Fort Thomas need not want for re¬ 
freshments, as many resorts are located opposite 
the place, some of which are advertised on the op¬ 
posite page. The street cars run to Fort Thomas 
every few minutes, and no visitor should depart 
from Cincinnati without paying a visit to the pic¬ 
turesque place. As a rule, visitors try to make it 
possible to go to the Fort when the gallant mem¬ 
bers of the regiment are to be seen on dress parade. 
There was recently some talk of transferring the 
Fort Thomas boys to Texas, but influence was 
brought to bear on President McKinley, and he 
finally consented not to make the change, for the 
present, at least. The soldier boys have a warm 
spot in their hearts for their home of the past few 
years, and they prefer to remain where a visit to 
Cincinnati requires but a few minutes on an elec¬ 
tric car. 

When the gallant Sixth Regiment departed for 
the South to do battle against the Spanish, the 
residents of Cincinnati turned out en masse, and a 
more inspiring sight has probably never been wit¬ 
nessed in the United States. Business was tempo¬ 
rarily suspended, schools were closed, and the Fort 
Thomas boys were sent away to the war with the 
prayers of anxious relatives and friends for their 
safety. These gallant fighters carved a name for 
themselves in history, and some of them sacrificed 
their lives on the battlefield. Too much praise 
cannot be bestowed upon Fort Thomas or the gal¬ 
lant boys who spend their time there, ready for the 
call at any time to do duty in the interest of the 
United States. 









These fine pictures 
awake patriotism in 
the young and ad¬ 
miration in the old¬ 
er people.

INTERESTING MENTION 

Of Thomas P. Jones, Secretary and Treasurer and General 
Manager of the Excelsior Coal Company. 

T\ MONG Cincinnati’s progressive young busi- 
l V - ness men who take a kindly interest in 
the welfare of the veterans of the Civil War might 
be mentioned Mr. Thomas P. Jones, Secretary and 
Treasurer and General Manager of the Excelsior 
Coal Co., one of the thriving and progressive busi¬ 
ness concerns of the Queen City. The subject of 
this sketch subscribed liberally to the fund to enter¬ 
tain the veterans, and he is taking more than a 
passing interest in the 32d National Encampment 
of the G. A. R., which promises to surpass all its 
predecessors. Few of the younger business men of 
Cincinnati have achieved greater success than Mr. 
Jones. Since shying his castor in the local com¬ 
mercial swim he has forged to the front, and he has 
come to be looked upon as a leading coal baron. 
Since becoming identified with the business inter¬ 
ests of Cincinnati, Mr. Jones has made a host of 
friends for himself. He is a daily visitor on Change 
and is popular with men engaged in all kinds of 
business. Mr. Jones is 32 years old, and lives with 
his wife and four happy children on Price Hill. 

A leading brand of coal with this company is 
the Catsburg Youghiogheny, which leads all others 
in the local market This company also sells the 
“Pittston” Anthracite and “Davis” Piedmont 
brands of coal The Excelsior Coal Co. can give 
lower figures on coal than any of their competitors, 
because they are miners and shippers as well as 
wholesale and retail dealers in coal. The general 
offices of the Excelsior Co. are located at the foot 
of Fifth street, near Freeman avenue. Call up 
telephone No. 7144, and get their prices before 
placing your order. 



ATTENTION , VETERANS! 

Visit Gofton’s Race Street Establishment and See the 
Latest Styles before Leaving the City. 

O merchant west of New York keeps abreast of the 
times as does Mr. Frank Gofton, the clever Cincinnati 
shirt maker and outfitter to men, whose place of busi¬ 
ness is at Race and Sixth streets. Styles in neckwear can 
always be seen at this up-to-date establishment, and an article 
of raiment that comes from Gofton’s is invariably proper form. 



FRANK GOFTON. 


The subject of this sketch has achieved great success in busi¬ 
ness because it is his constant aim to please his patrons. His 
clerks are polite and courteous, and veterans and their friends 
who visit the establishment will be cordially received. The 
style in which Gofton’s establishment is fitted up is indicative 
of the artistic taste of the popular proprietor. The floors are 
of hardwood, nicely finished, and the handsome plate glass 
show cases are always resplendent with the very latest in men’s 
furnishings. London and Paris styles, which are watched so 
closely by the best dressers, find their way to Gofton’s im¬ 
mediately after reaching this country. 

Gofton’s shirts have been famous for several years for their 
artistic finish, workmanship and fit. In fact, it can be truthfully 
said that Mr. Gofton is now the leading shirt maker of Ohio. 
No garment is allowed to leave the establishment until it has 
been personally inspected by the genial proprietor. This sys¬ 
tem has been a most satisfactory one, and Mr. Gofton now 
numbers among his patrons some of the leading men of the 
Middle States. A comparatively new line of merchandise which 
Mr Gofton has placed in his store consists of ladies’ neckties 
and goods for shirt waists. This branch of the business has 
grown steadily, and the members of the gentler sex now look 
upon Gofton’s goods as the best that can be had. 

In addition to being a successful business man, Mr. Gofton 
is a public-spirited citizen. He was on a prominent committee

Interesting History Showing the Growth and Advantages of the Queen City 

of the West. 


Her Commercial , Industrial , Educational and Other Facilities. 



‘'The Queen of the West, 

In her garlands dressed, 

On the banks of the beautiful river.” 

I N writing- this history we will not weary the 
reader with the countless dangers and adven¬ 
tures of the brave men and women who faced 
the hardships of a new country, surrounded by wild 
beasts and hostile tribes of savages. We can only 
sketch the formation of a few settlements from 
which, by caprice or chance, determined the location 
of the Queen City of 
the West. 

Founded by Symmes. 

John Cleves Sym¬ 
mes, a Congressman 
from Trenton, N. J., 
had bought a large 
tract of land from the 
United States Gov¬ 
ernment, from part of 
which Hamilton 
County was formed 
January 2, 1790, the 
second county in the 
State of Ohio, by 
proclamation of Gov¬ 
ernor St. Clair, and 
named from General 
Alexander Hamilton. 

Soon after the set¬ 
tlement was com¬ 
menced at Marietta, 
three parties were 
formed to occupy and 
improve separate 
portions of Judge 
Symmes’ purchase 
between the Miami 
rivers. The first, led 
by Benjamin Stites, 
consisted of eighteen 
or twenty, who land¬ 
ed in 1788 at the 
mouth of the Little 
Miami river, within 
the limits of a tract 
of ten thousand acres, 
purchased by Major 
Stites from Judge 
Symmes. They constructed a log fort and laid the 
site of the town of Columbia, which soon became a 
promising village. They were all men of energy 
and enterprise, and were more numerous than either 
of the parties who commenced their settlements be¬ 
low them on the Ohio river. Their village was 
more flourishing, and for two or three years con 
tained a larger number of inhabitants than nny 
other in the Miami purchase. This superiority, 


however, did not continue, as will appear from the 
sequel. Mathias Denman, of Springfield, N J , had 
purchased part of a section of land on the bank of 
the Ohio, which, on a survey of the Symmes grant, 
should be found to lay opposite the mouth of the 
Licking river. He then, with two partners, pro¬ 
posed to lay out a town, and they agreed to call it 
Losantiville 

This being done, Patterson and Tilson, the two 
partners, with a party of settlers, proceeded to the 

ground, where they 
arrived late in De¬ 
cember. In the course 
of the winter, before 
attempt had been 
made to lay out the 
town, Tilson was 
killed by the Indians 
while out on an ex¬ 
ploring expedition. 
His death broke up 
the contract between 
the partners. Mr. 
Denman, still being 
at Limestone, enter¬ 
ed into another con¬ 
tract with Colonel 
Patterson and Israel 
Ludlow. A new plan 
of a town was formed 
differing in import¬ 
ant respects from the 
other, and the whim¬ 
sical name of Losan¬ 
tiville changed to 
that of Cincinnati. 
The first lots laid out 
were donated to vol¬ 
unteer settlers. The 
original purchase of 
Mr.Denman included 
a section and a frac¬ 
tion, containing 
about eight hundred 
acres; was purchased 
for five shillings on 
the pound,so that the 
original cost of the 
plot of Cincinnati 
was fifteen pence per 
acre The third party that leftjLimestone established 
a settlement at a place they called North Bend, on 
account of the river making a bend to the north. 
These settlements were menaced by hostile Indians, 
and at the earnest solicitation of Judge Symmes, 
General Harmar sent a detachment of soldiers to 
protect the improvements commencing in the Mi¬ 
ami country. The three settlements had one gen¬ 
eral object in view and were threatened by one

CINCINNATI—Continued. 


common danger, yet there existed a strong- spirit of 
rivalry between them, each feeling a pride in the 
prosperity of the little colony to which he belonged. 
For some time it was a matter of doubt which of 
the rivals, Columbia, Cincinnati or North Bend, 
would eventually become the chief seat of business. 

Columbia Larger Than Cincinnati. 

Columbia was the largest at the start, but the 
garrison having 
been established 
at Cincinnati 
made it the head¬ 
quarters and the 
depot of the army, 
and as soon as the 
county courts of 
the territory were 
organized it was 
made the seat of 
justice of Hamil¬ 
ton county. In the 
course of the fol¬ 
lowing summer 
Major Doughty 
arrived at Cincin¬ 
nati with troops 
from Fort Har- 
mar, and com 
menced the con¬ 
struction of Fort 
Washing-ton. It 
was a log struc¬ 
ture made of larg-e 
trees cut from the 
space on which it 
was located. A 
tract of fifteen 
acres sloping up 
from the river 
bank in that part 
of the city now 1 y 
ing between Main 
and Broadway, 
and bounded on 
the north by a line 
half way between 
Third and Fourth 
streets. It was 
the most extensive 
and important 
military works in 
the territory be¬ 
longing to the 
United States. 

The location of 
the military works 
here instead of at 
North Bend, where Judge Symmes desired, is said to 
have been determined by the attractive black eves 
of a fair one in Cincinnati, formerly of North Bend. 
Thus the charms of a fair woman determined the 
location of a great metropolis. 

The site of this great city was then a dense 
forest, and the street corners were marked by great 
trees. 

The town first extended from the river to North¬ 
ern Row (now Seventh street), and from Eastern 


Row (now Broadway) to Western Row (now Cen¬ 
tral avenue). Ft. Washington was abandoned as 
a military post in 1844, when the National Govern¬ 
ment removed its garrison to the barracks in New¬ 
port, Ky., where it remained until the recent trans¬ 
fer to Ft. Thomas. 

The Indians caused much trouble to the pioneers 
until they were driven away by (Mad Anthony) 
Wayne in 1792. 

The first census 
in 1800 showed 
onl> 750 inhabi¬ 
tants in the town, 
and they all lived 
in log cabins. Cin¬ 
cinnati was incor¬ 
porated as a town 
in 1802, with only 
800 inhabitants, 
the same year Ohio 
was admitted into 
the Union as a 
state, with over 
60,000 people. 
The city is located 
on a broad plateau 
environed bv hills, 
and in its growth 
has climbed the 
hilltops and cov¬ 
ered them with 
lovely homes, and 
laid out beautiful 
parks and streets 
above the smoke 
and dust of the 
busy factories. 
The view from the 
hilltops presents 
some of the most 
beautiful and pic¬ 
turesque scenes in 
the world. The 
panorama below 
of the great city, 
with its network 
of trees filled with 
hurrying humani¬ 
ty, and glancing 
along the broad 
Ohio river, span¬ 
ned by graceful 
bridges, and alive 
with its numerous 
boats and barges, 
is the scene well 
worthy the brush 
of a painter. 
Cincinnati, with a total of 506 miles of streets, 
has 308 miles improved, principally paved with 
granite blocks and asphalt. 

Incorporated as a City. 

The city was incorporated in 1819, with a popu¬ 
lation of 9,800 souls. Growth was rapid after that, 
increasing to 24,000 in 1830, 46,300 in 1840, 115,400 
in 1850, 161,000 in 1860, 216,000 in 1870, 255,000 in 
1880, and to 297,000 in 1890. A census taken by

the police in 1895 showed that the population in the 
city proper was 336,083 The Ohio Legislature, by 
an act passed April 13th, 1893, authorized the an¬ 
nexation to the City of Cincinnati, of the villages 
of Avondale, Riverside, Clifton, Linwood and West- 
wood. This act was approved by a majority of the 
voters in the city and villages, and the Greater 
Cincinnati was accomplished, the act taking effect 
at midnight, December 31st, 1895 The annexation 
gives Cincinnati a population of 351,783. Commer¬ 
cially speaking, Cincinnati has a population of 
500,000. Within a radius of five miles of Govern¬ 
ment Square, the recognized center of the city, 
there are not less than 500,000 people. The fact is 
not generally understood that the cities of Coving¬ 
ton and Newport, and the villages of Bellevue, 
Dayton and Ludlow, on the Kentucky side of the 
Ohio river, are as much a part of Cincinnati as is 


street Here are located the two reservoir 0 of the 
City Water Works, each holding 100,000,000 gallons 
of water, and the water tower, 172 fee'- in height, 
completed in 1891 at a cost of $135,000. The Art 
Museum, which cost $330,000, and Art Academy, 
where 100 students are usually instructed in draw¬ 
ing, painting and decorative arts, are also located 
here. 

Burnet Woods park, which is nearly all forest, 
as its name implies, lies on the hills north of Cal¬ 
houn street and east of Clifton avenue. It contains 
163 Yi acres, and was first opened to the public in 
1874. The magnificent new University of Cincin¬ 
nati is located in a portion of this park. 

Lincoln Park, of 10 acres, lies on the west side 
of Freeman avenue, and with its artificial lake, its 
fountain and flower beds, is a beautiful ornament to 
that part of the city. 



COURT HOUSE. 


Walnut Hills, Cumminsville or other sections of the 
city. The great majority of the people in those 
places are dependent on Cincinnati for their daily 
bread, and come here to earn it, as is evidenced by 
the stream of humanity that crosses the bridges at 
all hours of the day, but more especially during the 
workingmen’s hours of morning and night. The 
street cars are also crowded during those hours. 

Cincinnati covers an area of 35 % square miles. 
Parks are called the breathing places of the people, 
and are where the busy man may, with his family, 
enjoy nature in its most attractive form. 

Cincinnati’s Fair Parks. 

Eden Park, containing 209.25 acres, was pur¬ 
chased’in 1865, at a cost of about $800,01 0. It lies 
on a hill east of Gilbert avenue and north of Court 


Washington Park, 5.60 acres, lies on the northi 
side of Twelfth street, from Race to Elm. 

Garfield Place, only one acre in extent, on 
Eighth street, from Vine to Elm, contains the 
bronze statue of Garfield, and at the end on Vine 
street the equestrian bronze statue of Gen. Wm. 
Henry Harrison, Ohio’s first President. 

The Zoological Gardens, although owned by a 
private corporation and an admission fee charged 
visitors, is properly one of the parks, and if its sale 
to the city, which is now being agitated, takes 
place will be a great acquisition to the public at¬ 
tractions. It contains 15 acres of land, and lies be¬ 
tween Clifton and Avondale. The principal build¬ 
ings are built of stone and cost about $300,OOP 
There is a valuable collection of about 1,500 wild, 
animals and birds

The most notable work of art is the Tyler-David- 
son Fountain, a gift to the city by Henry Probasco, 
and unveiled October 6, 1871. ‘ It stands on the 
Fifth street Esplanade, between Vine and Walnut. 
It was built at the Royal Bronze Foundry at Ba¬ 
varia, at Munich, and contains 24 tons of bronze. 
It is adorned with excellently sculptured figures in 
bronze each symbolic of the usefulness of water. 
The central figure on top, representing the 'Genius 
of Water,” stands 38 feet high. The esplanade is 
400 feet long and 60 feet wide. 

The Queen City’s Bridges. 

Cincinnati is connected with Newport across the 
Ohio River by a railroad and highway bridge located 
at the foot of Butler street, which cost $3,000,000; 
was constructed in 1872. Central Highway Bridge, at 
the corner of Second street and Broadway, cost $1,- 
600,000; was built in 1891. Covington is connected 


centering here, while Chicago, a much larger city 
both as regards population and territory, has twen¬ 
ty-two, Buffalo has thirteen, Columbus and Indian¬ 
apolis each have eight, while Cleveland has seven. 
The total mileage of railroads centering in Cincin¬ 
nati is 20,938 miles. The first railroad chartered 
in Ohio was the Canal and Steubenville Railroad 
Company. The Little Miami Railroad has the 
honor of being the next one, and the first to enter 
Cincinnati. Its charter bears the date of March 11th, 
1836, and was opened to the public in l y 43. In 1870 
it was leased to the P. C. and St. L. Railroad 
Company. 

The Southern Railroad. 

As early as 1836 Cincinnati began to feel acutely 
the need of a Southern connection. Cincinnati at 
that time held the relative place as to commercial 
and industrial importance in the Ohio Valley that

with Cincinnati by a suspension bridge, having the 
longest span, next to the Brooklyn Bridge, in this 
country, crossing the river from the foot of Walnut 
street, 103 feet above low water mark. The traffic 
is so great on this bridge that it is now, at this 
writing, undergoing enlargement which will nearly 
double its present capacity. The bridge is a model 
of symmetrical beauty, and cost $1,800,000. It was 
opened to the public January 1, 1867. The Chesa¬ 
peake and Ohio Railroad and Highway Bridge, at 
Third and Smith streets, cost $3,348,875. It was 
constructed in 1889. The Cincinnati Southern, at 
West Sixth street, is railroad with footway, cost 
$811,683, and was completed in 1877.

she does now—that is, she was the largest and 
richest city in the region with a population of 
40,000, and Chattanooga had barely been named, 
was a mere river-side landing, a village whose pop¬ 
ulation was made up of a few people, white, black 
and red, and not altogether 500. The matter of 
Southern connection was agitated again bv the 
pushing spirits of Cincinnati up in the early fifties, 
when the slavery agitation checked the scheme No 
more was heard of the road until Gen. Burnside re¬ 
vived it in 1862-63, as a war measure, a proposed 
convenience for the prosecution of a campaign 
against the Southern army. It fell through because 
the Government at Washington decided it would be 
cheaper to hold East Tennessee by main strength. 
After the war the matter was revived, and on May 
19th, 1869, the Ohio Legislature passed an act 
authorizing Cincinnati to issue bonds to the amount 
of $10,000,000 for the construction of a railroad

of the city after an exciting election. Later on an 
additional sum of $4,000,000 was voted to com¬ 
plete the road. The line was formally opened on 
the 18th day of March, 1880, and the most costly 
banquet ever spread in the United States was ten¬ 
dered by the Queen City to her Southern friends. 
No less than 2,000 Southern men and women, lead¬ 
ing merchants, manufacturers, politicians, gover¬ 
nors and so on, sat down to Cincinnati’s magnificent 
feast in the great Music Hall. October 12th, 1881, 
the road was leased to the Cincinnati, New Orleans 
and Texas Pacific Railroad Company for 25 years, 
at an increasing annual rental, the highest limit 
being $1,250,000. The East Tennessee, Virginia 
and Georgia Railroad Company in a few years 
secured a controlling interest and assumed control, 
but failing to pay the interest due the city it passed 


The total receipts of the Cincinnati postoffice for 
stamps, etc., was in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, 
and the money order business over $5,000,000. 

The city is ninth in the size of its bank clearings, 
and the third in the United States in the ratio and 
the increase of the same. Cincinnati is a compact 
city, covering, with a population of 320,000, over 
thirty square miles. The city owns over 500 miles 
of streets, over one-half of which are improved, 
many of them with granite and asphalt. She has 
539 acres of splendid parks. 

Cincinnati is not rich in material things alone, 
but in culture, in the arts, and in the refinements 
which make people happier and better. The endow¬ 
ment and assets of the latest and best of her public 
and beneficent institutions, the Museum and Art 
School, are over $1,300,000. The College of Music, 
Music Hall, Cincinnati University, and many other

in the road is looked after by a board of five trus¬ 
tees, appointed by the Superior Court of Cincinnati, 
and paid $2,000 each as a salary, $2,000 more 
is allowed for the secretary and office expenses. 
The whole $12,000 is paid by the company oper¬ 
ating the road. The distance from here to Chatta¬ 
nooga is 338 miles, and to New Orleans 830 miles. 

Our Commercial Importance. 

Cincinnati is not only one of the greatest inland 
cities of America, but of the world. She is purely 
a cosmopolitan city Her growth and prosperity 
have been marvelous in the past, and wonderful and 
vigorous in the present, and most promising for the 
future. The annual value of the manufacturing 
products is, in round numbers, near $350,000,000. 
The money paid the government on Internal Reve¬ 
nue collection for the last year was over $13,000,000. 


institutions, charitable and educational, come in on 
the same scale of munificent endowment. The 
wealthy men of the city have shown rare generosity 
and public spirit in providing for fountains, statu¬ 
ary, painting, sculpture and the like, and also for 
the endowment of music and education. 

There are many elements of work in Cincinnati, 
tending to make her better year by year. The 
means of general and special education have been 
vastly increased, and are utilized with intelligence 
and zeal. The pleasant things of life—music, the 
drama, literature, and all that ennobling list-—are 
cultivated in an enlightened way, and their benefits 
are showered on all. The necessities of life — food, 
fuel and clothing—are cheap, good and abundant. 
Manufactures, by which the greater number of the 
inhabitants gain their livelihood, have increased 
vastly faster than population within the city limits. 
Cincinnati banks and moneyed institutions have

never been on a more solid basis. Transportation 
facilities have increased more rapidly than even the 
people of Cincinnati realize. The area for the city's 
trade and manufactures widens with every mile of 
road built, and there are as many towards Cincinnati 
as any city in the land. The city is as well prepared 
to hold her own in every way, and to take advantage 
°f' coming opportunities, as she ever was. The 
class of buildings being erected show more wealth 
and taste than at any other time, and her resources 
are undiminished. 

Growing Suburbs Annexed. 

When the first stroke of the midnight bells 
sounded the requi¬ 
em of 1895, the -;— - 


Queen City stretch¬ 
ed out her mother¬ 
ly arms and took 
unto her bosom five 
orphans — good, 
healthy, growing 
children, who are 
even now her pride 
and joy. Annexa¬ 
tion was an im¬ 
mense stride for¬ 
ward in the path of 
progress for Cincin¬ 
nati. From what¬ 
ever point it is 
viewed, the advan¬ 
tages are over¬ 
whelmingly" appar¬ 
ent. 

Legislation, look¬ 
ing toward annex¬ 
ation, had been in 
process of develop¬ 
ment for years prior 
to its actual accom¬ 
plishment. But in 
1893, Robert Lil- 
lard, then a member 
of the Legislature, 
presentedthe bill to 
annex to Cincinnati 
contiguous corpora¬ 
tions. It was passed 
April 13th, and 
now occupies a 
proud position in 
the Statute books 
as “The L i 11 a r d 
Law.” During the latter part of 1895, the Board 
of Administration began to take steps to act 
under the law. The villages eligible for annexation 
to the city were five in number, as above mentioned, 
Avondale, Clifton, Linwood. Riverside and West- 
wood. The annexation gives Cincinnati a popula¬ 
tion of 354,783; the gain from the villages being 
18,700, estimated. The annexed area includes about 
seven square miles. There was a disposition by 
certain residents of the villages to fight annexation, 
but a very short time after its accomplishment they 
began to realize that it was a good thing for both 
the villages and the city. The greater portion of 


the annexed villages is devoted to residences, occu¬ 
pied by the wealthier class of citizens, whose busi¬ 
ness interests center in Cincinnati. By becoming 
identified with the city, they united, practically, 
their homes with their business, and were enabled 
to take an active part in the government of the 
municipality where their money was invested. An¬ 
nexation made their property more valuable, and in 
turn increased to an appreciable extent the valuation 
of the tax duplicate. The recent compilation made 
by the Board of Sinking Fund Trustees shows that 
this valuation amounted to $10,767,490. So satis¬ 
factory to all parties concerned has annexation 
proven that steps will be taken in the near future 

to embrace several 
more thriving vil¬ 
lages within the 
corporate limits of 
Cincinnati. The 
three members of 
the annexation 
Commission, ap¬ 
pointed by the Com¬ 
mon Pleas Court, 
who arranged the 
terms of annexa¬ 
tion, were: Judge 
C. D. Robertson, 
Wm. B. Melish and 
L. C. Robinson. 
They, together 
with the Sinking 
Fund Trustees, 
prepared the de¬ 
tailed plans which 
were later carried 
out so successfully 
by the Board of Ad¬ 
ministration. The 
Board of Legisla¬ 
tion, at a recent 
date, “erected” the 
acquired territory 
into wards. Avon¬ 
dale and Clifton 
were made “Ward 
31,” and the other 
three villages were 
made part of exist¬ 
ing wards upon 
whose confines they 
touched. 


Educational Institutions. 

Cincinnati is famous for her magnificent educa¬ 
tional institutions, which have been a source of 
genuine pride to her citizens. That this city should 
occupy so high a position on the educational ladder 
is due to the founders of her public schools, who 
were men imbued with the value of learning and 
appreciate a good education above all things In 
1800, there arrived in Cincinnati, then a city twelve 
years old, a number of solid men from Eastern 
states, most of whom had been soldiers in the Rev¬ 
olutionary War. They were all well educated, and

CINCINNATI—Continued. 


desiring- their descendants to have the same advan¬ 
tages in learning, they banded together and organ¬ 
ized a school called the Cincinnati College. This 
was not a free school, but continued until the year 
1827, when a public school was founded. This 
school flourished until 1829, when the Legislature 
of Ohio passed a law appropriating sufficient money 
to start three public schools, which were attended 
by about two hundred pupils, and had a corps of 
eighteen teachers, the principals of which received 
the munificent salary of $20 per month. New 
schools were constantly built, and in 1817 the high 
schools were founded through the generosity of 
William Woodward 
and Thomas Hugh¬ 
es, who left bequests 
enabling the city to 
build these magnifi¬ 
cent institutions. In 
1853 the intermediate 
schools were built, 
establishing the mid¬ 
dle institutions of 
learningbetween dis¬ 
trict and high 
schools. Under able 
management and 
wise and broadmind¬ 
ed directions the 
schools of this city 
gradually grew in 
number and efficien¬ 
cy until Cincinnati 
became the center of 
learning for an im¬ 
mense section of ter¬ 
ritory on all sides. 

The capstone of Cin¬ 
cinnati’s educational 
institutions was add¬ 
ed on the death of 
Chas. McMicken in 
1870, who left this 
city a bequest of 
$1,000,000 to found a 
college. The Uni¬ 
versity of Cincinnati 
was formally made a 
fact in 1870 bv an act 
of Legislature, and 
instructions began in 
the institution in ’73. 

From 1875 > to 1894 
the University stood 
on the McMicken homestead, and in the latter part 
of 1894 the corner-stone of the new buildings of the 
University was laid in Burnet Woods park The 
University of Cincinnati as it stands today com¬ 
pares favorably with any of the great Kastern col¬ 
leges, not only in its magnificent buildings, but also 
in its educational departments, conferring all the 
classical university degrees. 

The public schools are governed by a superin¬ 
tendent, who is appointed by the School Board, 
who are in turn elected by the people. There have 
been nine superintendents of schools in Cincinnati 
since 1850, viz : Nathan Guilford, Dr. Minell, 
Andrew J. Rickoff, Dr. Isaac J. Allen, Lyman 


Harding, John Hancock, John B. Peasle, E. E. 
White and William H. Morgan, the present in¬ 
cumbent. 

Cincinnati has seventy-five public school build¬ 
ings, employing 900 teachers, and this year’s at¬ 
tendance reaches the immense number of 43,000 
pupils. The value of Cincinnati’s school buildings 
is $3,550,000. The teachers’ salaries annually 
amount to $303,000. The latest and most magnifi¬ 
cent high school building erected in this city, at a 
cost o f $150,000, was completed several years ago 
on Walnut Hills, which name it bears, and was 
built by the city. A resident of Cincinnati can 

start from the Kin¬ 
dergarten, and with¬ 
out the outlay of a 
dollar, procure an ed¬ 
ucation in this city 
that cannot be ex¬ 
cel 1 ed anywhere in 
this country. Cincin¬ 
nati’s name extends 
justly far and wide 
as one of the best ed¬ 
ucational cities in the 
world. At the Col¬ 
umbian World’s Fair 
her “school exhibit” 
was classed as that 
of one of the four 
great cities of learn¬ 
ing and educational 
enterprise in the 
country. 

Court House. 

The first court 
house owned by the 
county was a rude 
stone building on the 
public square near 
the southwest corner 
of Fifth and Main 
streets. It was built 
in 1802, and its entire 
cost is said to have 
been but $3,000. It 
was built of lime¬ 
stone after a plan 
furnished by Judge 
Turner, in the shape 
of a parallelogram, 
with 42 feet front 
and 55 feet deep. 
The walls, including the parapet, were 42 feet high; 
a wooden cupola, with four projecting faces, arched 
and ballustraded, 20 feet high, terminated by a dome, 
and resting on a base 20 feet square, surrounding 
the whole. The total height to the top of the 
cupola was 84 feet. There were wings for public 
offices, two storied and fire-proof, as was supposed. 

This court house was used as a barrack during 
the war of 1812-14, and through the carelessness of 
some soldiers who were playing cards in one of the 
rooms, or in the garret, it was fired and burned 
early in 1814. The commissioners then decided to 
accept a lot tendered by Jesse Hunt, “out of town,” 
near the intersection of Court street with Main, m

which to erect a new building - . Plans and specifi¬ 
cations were drawn, and the erection of the new 
building - commenced, but P was not completed until 
1819. The commissioners now thoug-ht that inas¬ 
much as it was far removed from the thickly settled 
part of town, it was comparatively safe from fire. 
Improvements, however, rapidly followed, and it 
was not many years until the'new building- was 
fairly “in town.” Bad luck seemed to follow the 
authorities, for on the 9th of July, 1849, this build¬ 
ing- was accidentally burned, and the county was 
ag-ain without a court house 

There was no alternative but to take steps to 
erect another building-. Consequently a contract 
for $695,253.29 was awarded in 1851. The building 
was regarded as a very fine one for the time, and 
with its columns in front, made an imposing- ap-

pearance. It had a front of 190 feet back, and was 
three stories, or 60 feet in height. This building 
stood until March, 1884, when it was burned during 
terrible riots of that time. The present court house 
stands on the site of the one destroyed by the mob, 
and is a substantial and solid structure. It is three 
stories in height, and has ample room for the vari¬ 
ous county offices and courts, and an elevator to 
facilitate communication with the departments in 
the upper stories. 

The County Jail. 

This necessary adjunct of the court stands in 
the rear of the court house, and fronts on Sycamore 
street. It is constructed of limestone, cost $226,520, 
and successfully resisted all attempts of the infuri¬ 
ated mob to destroy it in 1884. 


The City Infirmary. 

Ample provision for the care of the poor and 
infirm is made by the municipal government. The 
institution for this purpose is located om the 
Carthage road, eight miles north of the city. The 
buildings are spacious and extensive, and are situ¬ 
ated on a farm containing 160 acres of beautiful 
rolling land. 

< The House of Refuge. 

This institution was opened for inmates in 
October, 1850. It is situated on Colerain avenue, 
about four miles from the postoffice. The grounds 
embrace nearly ten acres, one-half of which are 
inclosed by a stone wall, twenty feet in height, 
within which stand all the buildings. The main 
building is a castellated edifice of rough, blue lime-

Music Hall is situated at the southwest corner of 
Elm and Fourteenth streets. Built in 1875-78 from 
donations of $185,000 by Reuben R. Springer, and 
$125,000 bv John Shillito and other citizens. The 
ground was donated by the city, and is perpetually 
free from taxation. The property is owned by the 


country; changing slope of floor; adding a fine 
proscenium; replacing galleries with two new ones, 
extending all around the hall to the stage; adding 
new ventilating, lighting and heating systems. 

Music Hall has one of the greatest and finest 
organs in the country, built at Boston in 1878, and 
cost $32,685, of which Reuben R. Springer gave 
$5,000. It is 65 feet high, 50 feet wide and 30 feet 
deep; has 81 stops, 6,277 pipes and 5 bellows, and 
is worked by 5 hydraulic motors in the cellar. 

Music Hail has nine door ways in front, opening 
into a grand vestibule, 46 by 112 feet, and 41 feet 
high, from which run corridors 18 feet wide along 
each side of the main hall. The north wing has 
Power Hall and Technical School; the south wings

Appropriate Mention of Suitable Decorations and Labor Involved in Preparing for the Present 

Encampment. 


O business house was ever conducted on 
.better methods than those that were in 
vogue at G. A. R. Headquarters since the 
place was opened several months ago. Room 4, on 
the fifth floor of the Chamber of Commerce was 
selected as a central location for perfecting plans 
for the national gathering of the veterans. The 
room is artistically draped and the decorations are 
of interest aside from an artistic point of view. 
Supplementing an array of large and small flags 
is a fine stand of colors, in silk, presented to the city 
of Cincinnati b}’ the crew of the United States cruiser 
Cincinnati. When the cruiser was commissioned 
the city presented the vessel with a magnificent sil¬ 
ver service and a stand of colors. To show their 
appreciation, while the cruiser was out on her first 
voyage on the Mediterranean Sea, the crew devoted 
their idle moments to making the stand of colors re¬ 
ferred to. ' This consists of a large silk flag, a 
Union Jack, and a pennant. The latter is 30J feet 
long and flew from the mizzen mast of the Cincin¬ 
nati on her return trip. It has been draped about 
the four walls and the fixtures of the room, and is 
everywhere in evidence. The colors were pre¬ 
sented to the city only a short time ago, and this is 
the first time that they have ever been exhibited 
publicly. Another feature of the decorations is a 
large silk flag, the original design of the Cincin¬ 
nati flag which appears at the top of the thousands 
of scarlet and white badges, and which were dis¬ 
tributed by the Cincinnati Committee in the inter¬ 
ests of its work in securing the Encampment. The 
flag is of unique design and was adopted several 
months ago as the city’s emblem. 

G. A. R. Headquarters has been kept open daily 
and the thousands of minor details connected with 
an Encampment, of which the public knows com¬ 
paratively little, have been attended to with consis¬ 
tent regularity. At this place, visitors have been 
received and given all information desired. The 
Committee on Private Accommodations was recently 
installed in a separate apartment, where persons 
having quarters to let, could get all information 
necessary. In Room 4, committees have met almost 


daily to discuss matters pertaining to the Encamp¬ 
ment. Contracts were considered here and awarded 
as the Committee saw fit. Anent this it might be 
said, all things being equal, home concerns were 
given the preference. When bids were widely at 
variance, however, the interests of those who sub¬ 
scribed to the General Fund were looked after. 
Executive Director Melish has been present at all 
committee meetings, and has carefully noted every¬ 
thing of moment that has been done. His wise 
counsel and advice has been of untold benefit to 
the members of the various committees. Colonel 
Melish has dictated thousands of letters and has 
looked after every phase, of the Encampment in a 
most thorough manner. It is almost impossible to 
give the average citizen an adequate idea of the 
stupendous work that he has performed in connec¬ 
tion with the Encampment. The effect of his 
guiding hand is apparent only when the admirable 
arrangements for the Encampment are taken into 
consideration. Col. Melish has been ably seconded 
in his work by Secretary Edwin Stevens, and a 
corps of stenographers and clerks. 

Delegates were received and entertained in a re¬ 
markable manner when the limited time of the 
entertainers is taken into consideration. In fact, 
nothing that would tend to make Cincinnati go 
down in history as the best place in America to hold 
a National Encampment of the Grand Army of the 
Republic, or any other large gathering for that 
matter, has been overlooked. The citizens of Cin¬ 
cinnati have ample reason to feel proud of the stu¬ 
pendous work done by a committee of its repre¬ 
sentative citizens. There is every reason for 
residents of the Queen City of the West to feel sure 
that the thousands of veterans and their friends 
and well-wishers will turn their faces homeward 
feeling that they have been entertained in as hos¬ 
pitable manner as was possible. There has been 
but one aim, and that has been to make the 32d 
National Encampment of the Grand Army of the 
Republic a memorable event in the history of 
Cincinnati.

Musical Festivals of Cincinnati. 


The first greatest musical festival of the United 
States was held in 
1849. The May Fes¬ 
tival Association, for 
promotion of music 
and art, was started 
in 1873, and was in¬ 
corporated in 1880. 

It gives musical 
festivals in Music 
Hall every two years, 
at which the great¬ 
est musical composi¬ 
tions are rendered by 
professional singers 
of note, imported 
from all over the 
world, assisted by a 
local choir of about 
600 trained voices. 

The first May Fes¬ 
tival was given in 
Music Hall in 1878, 
and the officers were: 

Wm. N. Hobart, Pres- 
ident; H. T. Loomis, 

Secretary of the As¬ 
sociation. 


The New City Hall. 


The new City Hall, 
which we formally 
opened in the spring 
of 1893, is justly con¬ 
ceded to be one of 
the most elegant 
structures of the kind 
in the United States. 

It is situated on the 
square bounded by 
Eighth and Ninth 
streets, Central avenue and Plum street. Its dimen¬ 
sions are 332 x 203 feet, of a total area of 67,396 
feet. The height of the building to the roof is 
158 feet, and the main tower is 32 feet square and 
250 feet high. In this tower is a clock, with a dial 
ten feet in diameter, lighted at night by electricity. 
There are elevators communicating with the upper 
stories. 

In this magnificent building are located the May¬ 
or’s office, Council Chamber, office of the Chief of 
Police and all other offices of the city government. 
The building is constructed of brown Iron Moun¬ 
tain granite and buff Ohio stone. The trimmings, 
windows, doors, cornices and ledges are of red 
sand-stone, and the vestibules are lined with Ver¬ 


mont marble, and the floors and roofs are tiled. 
The style of architecture is of the Romanesque 
order. The building has been sol idly and honestly 
constructed, and it is the admiration of all who see 
it. It cost $1,610,QUO. 


The Public Library. 

The Public Library was started in 1856, in the 
old Central High School, then moved to the Me¬ 
chanic’s Institute in 1857. The present Library 
buildings are situated on Vine street, between 
Sixth and Seventh streets, and were built in 1869- 
70, by Architect J. W. McLaughlin, and cost $296,- 

684.53. The lot cost 
$86,910; the improve¬ 
ments make the total 
cost over $400,000. 
The Public Library 
was formally opened 
February 26, 1874, 
and governed by a 
Board of Trustees 
(no salarj), the terms 
are three years. The 
following were ap¬

art rooms, and a beautiful assembly room called the 
“Library Hall” (used for teachers’ meetings and 
lectures), and a large and valuable art collection of 
illustrated works. It has two assistant librarians, 
thirty-two day attendants, sixteen night and Sunday 
attendants. 


Natural History and Historical Societies. 


The Society of Natural History was incorpor¬ 
ated June 20,1870, and was the outgrowth of the 
Western Academy of Natural Sciences organized in 
1835. The Society was endowed with $50,000 by 
the will of Charles 
Bodmann, July 16, 

1877, and met in Cin¬ 
cinnati CollegeBuild- 
ing until November 
6, 1879, when it 
moved to the present 
quarters, southeast 
corner of Arch ami 
Broadway, and was 
purchased October, 

1877, for $11,500. It 
has valuable muse¬ 
ums, open to the pub¬ 
lic, and a large scien 
tifrc library. It gives 
free course of popu¬ 
lar scientific lectures 
every winter. 

The Historical and 
Philosophical Socie 
ty of Ohio was chart 
ered in Columbus in 
1831. It moved to 
Cincinnati in 1849 
Its object is the col¬ 
lection and preserva¬ 
tion of everything 
relating to the his¬ 
tory and antiquity of 
America, especially 
of Ohio, and the dif¬ 
fusion of knowledge 
concerning them. In 
1885 it purchased the 
present quarters, a 
fine three-story build 
ing on Eighth street, 
next to Lincoln Club 
House. Its library 
contains over 12,000 volumes and 53,000 pamphlets. 


Young Men’s Christian Association. 


The first annual meeting was held October 
11, 1849. The Association occupied rented rooms 
at 130 Walnut street, and afterwards at Nos. 28 and 
30 West Fourth street. In 1872 they located at No. 
200 Vine street, the building now occupied by Elk’s 
Lodge No. 5. As the Association gradually in¬ 
creased in numbers, they saw the necessity of a 
change of location, with a view of a permanent 
home. In April, 1874, possession was taken of the 
southeast corner of Sixth and Elm streets. After 
fifteen years of continued prosperity and growth, 
the Association concluded to again try to improve 


their home With the principal and interest of a 
donation of $33,000 from David Sinton, and by 
subscriptions from the following well-known citi¬ 
zens, $75,000 was raised for a new building: Mr. 
George W. McAlpin, Mr. Alexander McDonald, 
Mr. William Gibson and Mr. Geo. K. Shoenberger. 

The building at the southeast corner of Sixth 
and Elm streets was sold for sixty-six thousand 
dollars ($66,000), and which sum, together with 
the above named subscription, the property at the 
northwest corner of Seventh and Walnut streets 
was erected. The corner stone of the new building 
was laid with impressive ceremonies. 


Newspapers of Cin¬ 
cinnati. 


To write the his¬ 
tory of Cincinnati 
journalism, and 
speak in detail of it, 
were it possible, of 
every publication, 
weekly, semi-weekly, 
daily and monthly, 
during the past one 
hundred years, would 
require the space of 
a large volume. 
Some have existed 
for a few weeks and 
others months and 
years. The first 
paper published was 
a primitive affair 
called “The Sentinel 
of the Northwest. 
Territory,” Novem¬ 
ber 9, 1793. It was 
edited by William 
Maxwell, and its of¬ 
fice was at the corner 
of Front and Syca¬ 
more streets On 
May 28, 1799, the 
first edition of the 
second paper, “The 
Western Spy and 
Hamilton Gazette,” 
appeared The 1 Spy”" 
had many ups and 
downs,itsname being 
changed to the 
“Whig,” “The Ad¬ 
vertiser,” and in 1823, “The National Republican 
and Ohio Political Register.” On December 9,1804, 
the third paper made its appearance. It was called 
the ‘ Liberty Hall and Cincinnati Mercurv.” Some 
time in June, 1814, an ephemeral paper called the 
“Spirit of the West,” was started. It lasted but fortv- 
four numbers. On June 13, 1815, a new paper was 
started called the “Gazette,” and on December 11, 
following, “ Liberty Hall” was purchased and con¬ 
solidated with the new enterprise under the title 
“Liberty Hall and Cincinnati Gazette,” semi¬ 
weekly and weekly. The “Western Spy and Cin¬ 
cinnati General Advertiser,” weekly. All were 
imperial sheets, with six columns to the page, and 
were larger and contained more variety of reading

matter^hati any others in the State. Good book 
and job printing- offices were attached to each. 

The first daily to appear was called the “Com¬ 
mercial Register ” and was started in 1826 by S. S 
-Brooks, and edited by Morgan Meville. Tt was 
also the first daily north of the Ohio, and third 
west of Philadelphia. It lasted for six months. In 
lh28 it was resuscitated, but lasted again but three 
second daily came, and still exists, 
J-826, with an edition of 125 It was called 
t e Daily Gazette.” Charles Hammond was its 
editor Taken all in all, the history of this great 
journal is most interesting. Its final consolidation 
with the “ Commercial ” in 1883, was one of its 
greatest triumphs. The latter was published in 
1«43, by Curtis and Hastings, and after many 
changes the celebrated Murat Halstead became edi- 


landingham by the largest majority ever given a 
governor since the foundation of the State, 101,099. 
In early years the “ Enquirer ” changed its location 
many times. Its office was consumed by the Pike 
Opera House fire of 1866, the office being then at 
Vine and Baker streets. Finally it found a home 
on Vine street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, 
near the Public Library. In 1844, Hon. James 
4 aren took an interest in the paper. Afterwards 
Washington McLean purchased the interest of Mr. 
Derby and became joint owner with Faren and 
Wiley McLean John R. McLean, son of Wash¬ 
ington McLean, soon became interested, and finally 
he and Mr. Faren became the sole proprietors. 

Among the eminent journalists who have been 
connected with the paper are: John A. Cockrell, 
Jos. B. McCullah, and the world-renowned George

tor-in-chief. It was the greatest morning rival of 
the Gazette for many years. In early days the 
Gazette was an evening paper, but the public de¬ 
manded a morning paper, and it was so done. Its 
politics are staunchly Republican. By the terms of 
consolidation, the title became the “Commercial 
Gazette.” It has Sunday and weekly editions, 
and is published by the “Commercial Gazette Co,” 
which is regularly officered and organized. 

The greatest of all in Cincinnati, and it may be 
said in the West, is the Enquirer It has a long and 
interesting history. In its beginning it was mainly 
the creation of Moses Dawson, the editor of the 
old-time paper called “The Phoenix and Com¬ 
mercial Advertiser,” as early as 1828. John Brough 
purchased it in the thirties and changed the name 
to the Enquirer. He retired as editor in 1848, and 
in 1863 was elected Governor of Ohio over Val- 


Alfred Townsend, better known in the world of 
letters as Gath, who is still an active correspon¬ 
dent for it. About 1880 John R. McLean became 
the sole owner, and since then he has inaugurated 
many new features which have revolutionized jour¬ 
nalism in the West to such an extent that the 
“Enquirer” is now looked upon as the leader of 
them all. A feature which he inaugurated was 
that of free advertisements. This was the begin¬ 
ning of its success. Its politics are Democratic. 
Its Sunday edition has an enormous circulation, 
equaling all the other papers combined. It is the 
only metropolitan daily in the United States selling- 
for five cents. & 

The “ I imes-Star,” the leading evening paper, 
Republican, takes its name from the consolidation 
of two papers; the “Times,” founded in 1821, and 
the “Star,” started Februarv 2, 1872. The paper

Having had thirty-three years’ experience in prosecuting Soldiers’ 
claims for Pensions, Bounty, etc., we refer co thousands for whom we 
have done business all over the United States. We give a few press 
notices: 

The debt owed to the soldier can not be fully repaid by the most lib¬ 
eral pension policy. In the business of procuring pensions no firm in 
the country enjoys a better reputation than that of A. vV. McCormick & 
Sons .—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. 

The firm has an immense iibrary, showing the military history of 
every soldier from Ohio and other states, with the name of the officers 
of the companies and regiments The firm has secured pensions where 
others have failed, and much of their success must be attributed to 
years of wide experience in this line .—Cincinnati Post. 

There is no more reliable and conscientious agency in the country. 
—State Journal . Parkersburg, W. Va. 

The firm is one deserving the highest indorsement .—Chicago Record. 

The firm is known throughout the land for honest, prompt and effi¬ 
cient service. Thousands of the “Boys in Blue” indorse it .—Chicago 
Lamp. 

Col. McCormick has the advantage of thirty years’ practice, and the 
sons, one of them a physician, have grown up to tlm work, comrades 
may entrust < ases to them with assurance of success, if evidence is 
obtained, or the law warrants .—Ohio Soldier. 

Hon. R, R. Dawes says: “It gives me pleasure to recommend Col. A. 
W. McCormick. He has had many years of experience, has proved cap¬ 
able, thorough and energetic, and is a gentleman of the strictest integ¬ 
rity, and worthy of the utmost confidence.” 

Judge A. W. McCormick is an honorable and expert attorney in all 
such cases, and can recommend him as an honest, skillful attorney.— 
Health and Home. 

Comrade McCormick has won a grand distinction through his 
prominent success. He is an honest, skillful attorney. He can secure 
a claim if it is possible to be had .—Acme Haversack. 

Experience is necessary for prompt action, and integrity gives as¬ 
surance of honorable dealing. Messrs A. W. McCormick & 80 ns fur¬ 
nish the highest references, and are worthy the most implicit confi¬ 
dence .—Mansfield Daily News. 

A most agreeable gentleman, and a great favorite with his old com¬ 
rades .—Kenton Republican.

The “ Cincinnati Tribune,” a new Republican

first started it sold for three cents, then came down 
to two, and finally dropped to one cent. In June, 
1896, it was consolidated with the “Commercial 
Gazette,” under the name of the “Commercial 
Tribune,” the first issue of which appeared June

are kept entirely subordinate to the orders which 
form the decorative features of the facades. The 
lines are generally rigid and the openings give a 
very pleasing termination. The orders are very 
originally treated in the first story The pilasters 
and columns, placed on a high pedestal, are rusti¬ 
cated, and, by an ingenious introduction of the 
trigylph into the capitals, the characteristics of 
the Doric order are given with a decidedly new ef¬ 
fect. This rusticating order, with its reinforce¬ 
ment of piers, forms an appropriate and massive 
sub-structure, on which the other and lighter orders 
rest. l.These upper orders are a modified Ionic in 
the second 
story and 
composite in 
the third and 
fourth, the 
whole at a 
height of 95 
feet from the 
ground, 
mounted by a 
modillion cor¬ 
nice of orna¬ 
mental de¬ 
tails. The ex¬ 
terior walls 
are of gran¬ 
ite, the base¬ 
ment and stylobate from the 
red granite quarries of Mid- 
dlebrook, Mo., and the super¬ 
structure from quarries at 
Fox Island, Maine. The in¬ 
terior construction is of a 
strictly fire-proof character, 
as in other first-class govern¬ 
ment buildings, with* parti¬ 
tions of brick and floors of 
iron beams and brick arches. 

The building was commenced 
in 1874 and completed in 1885; the total cost (in¬ 
cluding the site, $800,000), being nearly $5,000,000. 

Chamber of Commerce. 

The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and Mer¬ 
chants’ Exchange is the oldest body of its kind 
holding daily sessions for the transaction of busi¬ 
ness in the United States. It was organized 
October 15, 1839, at the Mercantile Library rooms, 
at which a committee of fifteen was selected to draw 
up a code of regulations for the government of the 
organization which was about to start into life. 
On October 22d, a constitution was adopted, and 


on November 5, 1839, by-laws were adopted, and 
the Chamber of Commerce was fully organized. 
The first regular meeting was held January 14, 
1840. Steps were taken to secure rooms for the 
meetings in the College building, on the east side 
of Walnut street, in connection with the Young 
Men’s Mercantile Library Association. These 
rooms were used until the fire in the winter of 
1844-45, and others in the new College building 
until its destruction by fire in 1869. Hopkins’ Hall, 
Smith & Nixon’s Hall and the Pike’s Opera Plouse, 
in succession, furnished quarters for meetings until 
the members moved into their own magnificent 
structure, at the corner of Fourth and Vine streets, 
of which formal possession was taken January 99 
and 30, 1889. 

Changes in Cincinnati. 

Veterans, who attended the National Encamp¬ 
ment in Cincinnati in 1869, will notice many 
changes in our city. We have more than 600 

miles of beau¬ 
tiful asphalt, 
granite and 
tfj brick boule¬ 
vards, aven¬ 
ues and streets, 
upon which 
there have 
been expend¬ 
ed in recent 
years, eight 
million dol¬ 
lars. These 
are clean and 
as smooth as 
a parlor floor, 
and are bet¬ 
ter adapted 
for the move¬ 
ment of a 
large parade 
than those of any other city in the Union. 

We have over 350 miles of electric street railroad 
lines traversing our streets and extending out many 
miles through the most extensive and beautiful 
suburbs to be seen anywhere in the world. 

We have within thirty minutes’ ride by electric 
cars along the banks of the Ohio river, the finest 
U. S. Military Post (Fort Thomas) of any in the 
United States, not excepting famous “West Point,” 
on the Hudson. The views from Fort Thomas, up 
and down “La Belle Riviere,” and of the “ Pligh- 
lands” of Kentucky, surpass in grandeur those 
from “West Point.”

PEACE JUBILEE 


And Civic and Industrial Parade a Leading Feature of the Q. A. R. Encampment. 


7~\ T a meeting - of the Board of Legislation held 
/ \ Monday evening, August 15, President 

Bonham introduced the following reso¬ 
lution, setting apart Thursday, September 8th, as 
a day of rejoicing over the cessation of hostilities 
between this country and Spain: 

“Whereas,; the thirty-second Encampment of the 
Grand Army of the Republic takes place in this city 
between the 5th and 10th of September, 1898; 

“Whereas, The Citizens’ Committee has ar¬ 
ranged on the official program a grand civic and in¬ 
dustrial parade for the day of September 8th at 2 
o’clock p. m for the entertainment of the members 
of the Grand Army of the Republic and their friends, 
who will be the citizens’ guests at that time; 

“Whereas, On Friday, the 12th day of August, 
1898, the protocol of peace between the United States 
and the Government of Spain was signed at the 
City of Washington by the official representatives 
of the two governments, and President McKinley, 
as commander of the land and naval forces of the 
United States, declared that a cessation of hostili¬ 
ties between both countries should take place; 

“Whereas, President McKinley will, during the 
encampment, be the official guest of the Citizens’ 
Committeee of the Thirty-second Encampment of 
the Grand Army of the Republic; and 

“Whereas, It is deemed fitting and proper to 
celebrate the termination of our achievements at 
arms in the war with Spain for Cuban freedom; 
therefore, be it 

“Resolved, by the Board of Legislation of the 
City of Cincinnati, that Thursday, the 8th day of 
September, 1898, be specially set apart as a day 
upon which the City of Cincinnati, and all her 
citizens be called upon to take part in the civic and 
industrial parade to give expression to the common 
rejoicing of our citizens at the grand feats of our 
arms and naval victories that have given world¬ 
wide fame to the prowess of this republic, and that 
the Mayor of the City of Cincinnati is hereby re¬ 
quested to issue a proclamation calling upon all 
public bodies of the city and of our neighboring 
cities and villages to take part in the parade, and 
to call upon all of the citizens of Cincinnati to sus¬ 
pend their ordinary avocations and give the day 
over to jubilation and rejoicing and to take part in 
the industrial display, as set forth under the direc¬ 
tions and public address of the Citizens’ Committee, 
and further that a committee of four members of 
the Board of Legislation be appointed by the Presi 
dent to carry out the objects of these resolutions.” 

In response to the resolution of the Board of 
Legislation, adopted Monday evening. August 15th, 
Mayor Tafel thereupon issued the following proc¬ 


lamation, making Thursday, September 8th, a day 
of celebration of the cessation of hostilities between 
this country and Spain. 

It is as follows : 

To the People of Cincinnati : 

“Less than four months ago war was declared 
between Spain and America, and, although the 
preponderance of wealth and population was with 
us, yet Spain’s navy was considered a peer of ours, 
and her army a quarter of a million strong, well 
disciplined and splendidly armed, could only be 
matched by us with 25,000 regulars, with guns of 
modern make, and with our militia sadly handi¬ 
capped in armament and organization 

“But ‘the men behind the guns’ first on our war¬ 
ships, and then also in the tropical jungles, brought 
victory to our standards just as soon as the occasion 
offered itself. The primary defeats that had been 
anticipated by many failed to materialize and the 
collapse was as sudden as it was crushing 

“The murderous climate, however, then com¬ 
menced to assert itself, and it threatened to van¬ 
quish the victors They were being stricken by the 
hundreds daily, and the whole country was dis¬ 
tressed at the sight. 

“It was at this juncture that the news flashed 
over the country that peace was concluded, and 
great was the relief felt. 

“Peace, ever welcome, was hailed with joyous 
acclaim all the world over, because war had affected 
them all. To us especially peace means a wealth of 
blessings Europe looks upon us now with admira¬ 
tion, if it be tinged with envy; and we are enabled 
to bring back to our shores the heroes of our army 
and navy. 

“A great weight is lifted off the industries of 
our country, and prosperity will smile on us once 
more like a life-giving sun, and if our joy is now 
unbounded, the reasons therefor are manifold. 

“Circumstances favor Cincinnati in celebrating 
the first grand peace jubilee in the country. Grand 
Army week will soon assemble hundreds of thou¬ 
sands of veterans and other visitors in our city, 
from all points of the country, for which event 
preparations have been goingon for a twelvemonth, 
and Thursday, September 8th, of Grand Army 
week, has consequently been selected for the occa¬ 
sion. 

“I, therefore, call upon our citizens, our mer¬ 
chants and manufacturers, who have on that day a 
grand civic and industrial parade, in honor of our 
soldiers and sailors In honor of Greater America. 
In honor of Peace, Peace, Peace! 

“Gustav Tafel, Mayor.”

Woman’s Citizens’ Committee. 


Prominent Cincinnati Ladies who will Look After Visiting Members of the Gentler Sex. 



ISITING ladies will be properly provided 
for during- the 32d National Encampment 
of the Grand Army of the Republic. Nothing 
that will add to the comfort of wives, mothers, 
sisters and daughters of veterans will be over¬ 
looked, and no expense has been spared by the 
Woman’s Citizens’ Committee in order to carry out 
their portion of the entertaining The Committee 
is composed of the 
most prominent la¬ 
dies of the Queen 
City of the West. 

Miss Annie Laws, 
the Chairman of the 
Committee, than 
whom no member of 
her sex in the West 
is better known, or 
more highly es¬ 
teemed, has taken 
great interest in the 
visitof ladies belong¬ 
ing to organizations 
auxiliary to the G. 

A. R. Miss Laws 
selected her assist¬ 
ants with great care, 
and when the mem¬ 
bers of theCommittee 
were announced. Cin¬ 
cinnatians realized 
the wisdom of her 
choice. The an¬ 
nouncement some 
weeks ago by Execu¬ 
tive Director Melish 
that Miss Laws had 
consented to assume 
the duties of the 
Chairman of the 
Woman’s Citizens’ 

Committee was a 
guarantee that the 
work of the Commit¬ 
tee would be a credit 

to Cincinnati. Miss Laws is noted for her deeds of 
charity and kindness, and she is undoubtedly the 
best selection that could have been made. Miss 
Laws has brought sunshine and happiness to thou¬ 
sands of poor families, and her purse has never been 
closed to deserving needy ones She founded the 
Cincinnati Kindergarten Association and the Wom¬ 
an’s Club, and during the World’s Fair Miss Laws 
superintended the admirable arrangements that pre¬ 
vailed at the Woman’s Building It was out of as¬ 
sociations formed in this building that the Cincin¬ 
nati Woman’s Club grew, and the organization now 


threatens to rival the famous Sorosis, of New York, 
and other similar societies in the East. Many of 
the most prominent persons in the country have 
been the guests of the Cincinnati Woman’s Club 
since its organization. 

The ladies whom Miss Laws has selected to assist 
her are also known for their hospitality, kindness 
and charity, and they represent the cream of Cin¬ 
cinnati social and 


tyler-davidson fountain. 


church circles. That 
all visiting female 
relatives of veterans 
will turn their faces 
homeward with a 
kindly word for Cin¬ 
cinnati and the 
charming ladies of 
the Queen City has 
been accepted as a 
foregone conclusion 
ever since the names 
of the Woman’s Citi¬ 
zens’ Committee were 
made public. 

The following la¬ 
dies constitute this, 
one of the most im¬ 
portant committees 
in connection with 
the annual gathering 
of the veterans. The 
Committee organized 
as follows: Miss An¬ 
nie Laws, Chairman; 
Mrs. J. J. Gest, Vice- 
Chairman; Mrs Wm. 
B Melish, Treasurer, 
and Miss Clara Chap¬ 
man Newton, Secre¬ 
tary. With the la¬ 
dies are associated

The Cincinnati Police and Fire Departments. 


\\/ HEN the non-partisan Police Department of 
V V Cincinnati was organized about 12 years 
ago, it was decided that to fulfill modern re¬ 
quirements, a model police officer must at least ap¬ 
proach the versatility of an “Admirable” Crichton. 
In the first place, he must be a perfect specimen of 
physical manhood, able to pass an examination more 
exacting than that required of a West Point cadet; 
as symmetrical as an Apollo, as strong as a Hercu¬ 
les, as enduring as iron. He must have a knowledge 
of the English language sufficient to make his 
written report intelligible, and be well enough 
versed in criminal and municipal laws to avoid 
making mistakes in prosecuting his duties both for 
the discovery and prevention of nuisances, of mis¬ 
demeanors, of crime. He must be a police court 
judge off the bench, prosecuting attorney on the 
witness stand, a jury on his beat. He must have a 
sufficient knowledge of the business of a physician 
to know what to do for a man who falls upon the 
street in a faint, how to resuscitate the drowned, to 
staunch the flow of blood from a wound, what to 


Nearly every citizen of Cincinnati takes more 
or less pride in our splendid Fire Department. JThis 
is pardonable, because no similar organization in 
the country stands higher. The local fire fighters 
are known far and wide for their efficiency The 
Board of Fire Trustees is now composed of Messrs. 
James J. Faran, Abe Furst, John Goetz, Jr., and 
William T. Perkins. To these gentlemen, in a 
measure, is due the high standing of the ffire 
fighters of the Queen City of the West. Since 
serving as Fire trustees this quartet has done good 
work. Each gentleman looks after a branch of the 
service, and in this way nothing that will improve 
the department is overlooked. The chief of the 
Cincinnati Fire Department is John A. Archibald, 
than whom a more popular man would be hard to 
find. “Jack,” as he is called by his intimate 
friends, has endeared himself to the firemen by 
his uniform kindness to them in all his dealings. 
He is, however, a stickler for discipline and at no 
time will he permit an infraction to the rules. Chief 
Archibald is ably assisted by Assistant Chiefs 




COLONEL PHIL. DEITSCH. 

do tor a man who has been frozen and how to treat 
one dying from overheat. 

It can be stated with pardonable pride that the 
Queen City of the West has a force of guardians 
of peace and property that can not be excelled in 
any city. Few strangers depart from Cincinnati 
without sounding praises of our policemen, and on 
state occasions it can be truthfully said that their 
drilling does not suffer by comparison of that of 
the regular army. Year by year the standard for 
getting on the force has been raised, and the result 
is that the best of material has been secured. In¬ 
novations in line of progress have been introduced 
until the Cincinnati Police Department stands to¬ 
day as an honor to its members and a pride to the 
city. 

Colonel Phil. Deitsch, the Superintendent of the 
Cincinnati Police Department, is one of the best 
known men in his line in Cincinnati. He is well 
known as Presidentof the National Bureau of Identi¬ 
fication to which position he recently was elected 
to succeed Marshal Jacob Frey, of Baltimore, Md. 


JOHN A. ARCHIBALD. 

Thomas McAvoy and John C. Donovan, two 
veteran fire fighters, who are known to nearly every 
man, woman and child in the city. The city is di¬ 
vided into four districts, which are in charge of 
Captain Henry Bunker, Milton L. Campbell, John 
O. F. Miller and Casper Strief. All the gentltmen 
named know exactly how to combat fire and smoke, 
and they have reached their present high positions 
in recognition of the valuable services which they 
have rendered the tax payers of Cincinnati. The 
clerical part of the work is handled by Secretary 
Clifford _^akeman and Assistant Secretary Henry 
Schlottman, Jr., both of whom are too well known 
to require a lengthy mention at this time. All the 
paraphernalia of the local department is decidedly 
up to-date. No invention is ever overlooked by the 
Board of Fire Trustees in their desire to make 
fighting fires easier. Still, no point in economy is 
overlooked by those who draw on the fund of the 
tax payers. All things considered, the Cincinnati 
Fire Department is a most model organization, and 
it probably has no peer in the United States.

PARTING WORDS 


To che Heroes Who Fought to Save the Union in Time of Peril. 






AREWELL! The first word ol this book, this 
Souvenir, is WELCOME! It is fitting that 
the last word should be Fareweix! But let 
it not be a sad word. Let it be to those who carry 
-the Souvenir home with them, and to their families 
■and friends, an assurance of the lasting - affection 
and comradeship that knows no earthly farewell; 
that recognizes' only those ties which are insepar¬ 
able, now and forever; and those bonds which, like 
those of the Union we fought for, are indivisible. 

“History repeats itself ” is one of the trite sayings 
with which these pages beg'an; but here the simile 
ends. This history, or the repetition of the Grand 
Review of 1865, will never again be repeated In 
the course of human events it is beyond possibility 
that such a recurrence as this demonstration of 
September, 1898, should at any other future time 
be recorded. It is, or has been, an event the like of 
which no other nation has ever seen; not even the 
nations of antiquity; not in the triumphal marches 
of Roman armies with the Royal Caesars at the head 
of their serried columns; nor even of more modern 
times when the great Napoleon led his victorious 
legions into Paris after having conquered the co¬ 
horts of Europe. Hence, let us say, it will never be 
repeated. Peace is here; LASTING PEACE. 

As each comrade goes home after this most re¬ 
markable celebration he carries with him the fare¬ 
well blessing of all his companions in arms, each 
and every one, whom he may have met here. It is 
a comforting thought, and therefore, it is not sad! 
It is not a sad or sorrowful Farewell It marks an 
epoch in the expiring years of the veterans, a last 
epoch, the memory of which they will cherish until 


the muffled drums beat and the funeral salute shall 
be fired over their graves. 

By this most remarkable and unprecedented 
deraonstration they have set the seal to the record 
of their achievements which ended with the grand 
climax of Civil War in 1865. The affixing of that seal 
means no recurrence of civil strife; for here has 
been not only a celebration of the closing days of 
the rebellion, but a reunion, practically, of the Blue 
and the Gray. 

No line was drawn in the recent American- 
Spanish war and men fought side by side at Santi¬ 
ago who were in opposing sides during the Civil 
War. The veterans of the rebellion will all give 
praise to the gallant Dewey, Sampson, Schley, 
Hobson and the other heroes of the late conflict. 
For the ex-Confederates who also fought so gal¬ 
lantly in Cuba, the members of the G. A. R. have 
only the warmest words. 

The occasion has been symbolic of the rehabili¬ 
tated condition of national affairs, and serves like 
the bow of promise in the skies after nature’s phys¬ 
ical storm to assure us one and all of the future of 
the Nation, the Union of States, increased in num¬ 
ber, always increasing in power and progress, and 
forevermore indestructible. 

So, the word Farewell is said with triumphant 
unction. It means Good Will, Peace and Prosper¬ 
ity, and a calm repose to all the members of the 
Grand Army of the Republic, coupled with an assur¬ 
ance that the Nation, in every representative capac¬ 
ity, bids them God speed, as was done in 1865, on 
their return to their homes. Farewell! Farewell!!
